come on, Cicero, there haven't been any NEW refineries built but the existing refineries have continually been expanded over the years but we DO need to expand even more.
“California, which always bitches the loudest, is the worst offender.”
My what a wide brush you have! LOL
I'm a native Californian, and I haven't complained...I just did my part and started working out of my home in 1979 and never looked back...
Not every Californian is responsible for the problem, but the state government is deeply responsible. They started the whole gasoline additive business, and the stricter pollution standards, and they have prevented companies from producing enough energy in state, so they rely on neighboring states for their power. No new refineries or power plants, no drilling offshore, and then blame some company in Texas for overcharging them.
Other states have followed California’s example, but they took the lead.
