Valero is already shutting refineries and laying off workers: 550 to lose jobs as Valero Energy shuts Delaware refinery.

GW is a scam, no doubt about it. We have spent ourselves into a hole, so the politicians need to get creative to raise more case. GW is a textbook example of this creativity. And, of course, there will be plenty to skim off the top for politicians, burearcrats, and corporations. So many people have bought into this that it will be impossible to stop, evidence be damned. While becoming energy efficient is a good thing, we surely can find a way to do that without this massive scam.

This is just another money grabbing scam. Never mind that the science behind it has been found to be falsified. It's just a way to install another patronage bureaucracy to monitor the emissions, then one to monitor the trades and administer the surcharges on these credits. Then Goldman Sachs and Wall St get to set up an exchange. The corrupton opportunities are endless. In the end the consumer will be paying in the form of higher prices, higher taxes and fewer jobs at lower salaries.

Probably why Valero is shutting down its Delaware refinery and canning about 550 jobs. (Hear that PLUGS?) Sunoco also is closing a refinery outside Philadelphia.

I recomend everyone follow the link and read the whole story.

it spells out how cap & trade will destroy the US refining industry and the impact on fuel costs.
