> Atlas is shrugging - Valero is taking a $1 billion dollar loss just to get out of California by April 2026

Remember that CA mandated alk electric by 2030?  They wont need gas.

The enlightened option of course is to get a bunch of little brown wogs to endure all that shyt thousands of miles away, then bring it in by ship at vast expense - while jacking ourselves off about how green we are

Oregon:  Same problem.

It looks like this will be bigger than people think it is.   But lots of new job openings with the deporations, everyone will be able to work a second job to pay for it all!

Leftist western states will fight a pipeline from the midwest.

CA will use eminent domain to seize the properties and refineries and take control.   Who will stop them?   

The law? 

A good point, but still like taking a stroll up Omaha Beach.   If they try to take the refinery, it will take YEARS of litigation, and BILLIONS of dollars - which CA doesn't have, but Valero DOES.

THEN, who is going to RUN the thing?  Despite King Gavin's opinion, oil refinery workers are NOT to be found on skid row or illegal invader barrios.  No, the ones who know what they're doing are already headed to Texas.  NOW, just imagine the kind of sales job you'll have to do to entice skilled workers to move to Hellscape California!! 

Then, who will BUY what they produce?   Probably not Valleo stations, and independent stations needing mandated tank upgrades are ALL CLOSING NEXT WEEK.   Hundreds of them.    Good luck, Bunkey!

Oh, and WHO is going to sell the State of California the crude oil?   California is short on cash already, and their credit is flushable.

BUT, King Gavin might still try.  That SUPERTRAIN of his sure shows his skills!!

Assuming the west coast will fight any pipeline, you might want to invest in BNSF.   They can move petroleum products west, today.
