That's why the rumor sounded so wrong here in California's lower San Joaquin Valley, where petroleum has produced more riches than the gold rush. Why would Shell Oil Co. close its Bakersfield refinery? Why scrap a profit maker?Why would an oil company want to stay in liberal California? That's what I'd like to know.

Why would an oil company want to stay in liberal California? Same reason a Wall Street stock trader would stay in liberal New York. That's where the oil is.
