The Sinclair oil refinery is laying off 87 employees.

Thirty-two workers at the southern Wyoming refinery, one of the largest in the region, have already been laid off. Another 55 were notified they’d be let go at the end of September.

The cuts come just months after the refinery’s parent company, Sinclair Oil Corp., was sold in March.

The plant’s new owner, HF Sinclair Corp., hasn’t said much about why it decided to do layoffs ⁠— just that they were prompted by the sale.

“As a result of the recent acquisition, we are aligning our facilities to reflect best practices for operational excellence,” HF Sinclair Director of Corporate Communications Corinn Smith said in a Thursday statement.

Absolutely. Gotta have the coal to power the power plants so people can charge those Teslas.
