California refineries are closing down.
The dumb left wingers do not understand supply and demand.


Los Angeles, CA – September 23, 2025* – California's oil refining industry is in sharp decline, with two major refineries slated to close by mid-2026, slashing the state's crude oil processing capacity by nearly 20%. The closures of Phillips 66's Wilmington refinery and Valero's Benicia facility signal a broader trend driven by declining gasoline demand, stringent environmental regulations, and economic pressures, raising alarms about skyrocketing fuel prices and supply chain disruptions.

The Phillips 66 refinery in Wilmington, which processes 139,000 barrels per day (bpd), began idling operations in early September and is set to fully shut down by the end of 2025, ending the company's crude oil refining in California. Meanwhile, Valero's 145,000-bpd Benicia refinery in the San Francisco Bay Area is scheduled to cease operations by April 2026, citing the state's "regulatory enforcement environment" as a key factor. These closures follow the 2020 shutdown of Marathon's Martinez refinery and the 2025 conversion of Phillips 66's Rodeo facility to renewable diesel, leaving California with just seven crude oil refineries compared to 40 in the 1980s.

The state's refining capacity, currently at 1.62 million bpd, faces a precarious future. Analysts warn that losing these facilities could drive California's already nation-high gasoline prices-averaging $4.61 per gallon in September 2025-to $6.43 by year's end and as high as $8.43 by 2026, a 75% surge. A February 2025 fire at PBF Energy's Martinez refinery underscored the fragility of the state's fuel supply, causing temporary price spikes.

Can you imagine the chaos if this mofo is president? Holy ****.
 
More than that will. How many wont be able to afford what they are now? When this hits I think a lot of locals who vote Dems wont be able to afford their lifestyle anymore......Will it turn CA red
This isn't new in CA. Look at the SF bay area. Low hanging fruits continue to vote Democrats to the point that they priced themselves out of the housing market, cost of goods and services, and utility prices. Instead, they voted to support the very same people they hated, tech workers and tech millionaires.
 
I thought this was bad. Threats by a government official against a private entity until the do what the politician wants.

Weird.


No. You didn’t think that or you would have complained when Trump actually did that. Over and over

Here? Newsom is not threatening anything

There is nothing in the article where Newsome threatened anything. Delete this thread and go about your day.

I found the video more interesting....What a farce....Newsome trying to sweet talk the oil companies. What a two-faced prick.
He's trying to kiss both asses.

He wants to continue wealth transfer scheme through tax credits to please leftists and also begging oil refineries not to shut down.

Problem is Newsom is too damn stupid to realize that he cannot say the entire state is going the alternative energy way when infrastructure, buyers, and fundings aren't there. He is putting the carriage in front of the horses.
 
Have you seen Newsom's track record?
California is one of the worlds largest economies and the most populous state, it is not the same as the other 49, but to run on the track record of California would require a rebranding by Newsome and his team. Everyone only hears the negatives, and that is largely the result of a sensationalistic media. Their government has always had problems with liberal doctrine, that is well documented
