They’re so damn smart, then why don’t they run it themselves?......................
“Nationalizing” (”Statising?”) the refineries would be the next step on the road to becoming Columbia-—and California is good enough at embracing insanity that if they took that step they would arrive there within about 10 years.
Maybe Oregon (my home state) and Washington would see what is going on, wise up, and step back from the abyss, but I wouldn’t count on it
ROTFL! Those Flamin’ Calis are almost as smart as the Rocky Mountain HIGH Coloradoans, Wisconsinite Cheeseheads or the Minniesodasomalies.
For an example of how crooked California regulators create market shortages to benefit select energy suppliers see: Energy Racketeering: The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
You just push buttons, right?
Sacramento, CA (AP) 9/26/2025 Huge explosion at California refinery two months after California takes over operations.
Looks like In and Out Burger moving from in California out to Tennessee is the new paradigm for their In and Out refineries as well. Looks like California is changing its nickname under Newsom from the Golden State to the In and Out State as industry continues to flee his dump fire
Californians get the government they elect.

Right. And ask Venezuela’s President Maduro to send up a few advisers. They have experience in this sort of thing.
P.S. to Newsom: Be sure to fire all the technicians currently on the job. You don’t need their defeatist attitudes. Replace them with socialist college kids. Liberal arts majors, preferably.
It’s about time, and the reason is clear. The vast bulk of voters here aren’t ideologues; they’re just drones who’ve assimilated the Dems = good; GOP = bad narrative, and automatically vote accordingly. They fix this upcoming loss of 18% of our gas supply, or they could face an electoral bloodbath next year. This article cites $8 gas next year ; I’ve seen estimates as high as $12
You can buy it but the democrats stringent regulations say you can’t run it ,LOL
No worries. Everything will run on free electricity from wind and solar in about 10 years.
Most people would figure out the problem, but California Democrats are foam-at-the-mouth wackos.
Idiots
From the article, it doesn't look like Phillips is planning to sell the refinery. It looks like Phillips is planning to dismantle the refinery and repurpose its land for other uses.

That is probably the intent, after failing to find a buyer.
Sad to say, this has an impact on northern Nevada as well since most of our gas comes from the left coast. Can hardly blame the refiners. Smooth move calis.
They should just turn it over to their “hardworking” illegal aliens. They shouldn’t have any problem running a refinery that Americans don’t want to run.
“In and Out State”—love it!:)
