As a result, the refineries won't build or upgrade.

Sorry, there are currently and have been numerous "upgrade" projects in California. Shell Martinez a few years ago added a new unit with a DCU, Chevron El Segundo, Arco/BP, Exxon/Tesoro Benica, Exxon/Mobil (Torrance and many others have all had upgrades such as debottlenecking and mechanical upgrades. Most upgrades have been for increased production at existing facilities.
