Didn't California shut down 2 high capacity refineries in the last couple of years?

The capitalists who own them shut them down.

But this guy is fixated on the fact that 17% of the refineries were closed in a state where gas sales fell 17%.

It’s remarkably appropriate in a article where we are talking about a shortage…

It's a shortage of refinery inputs, not refinery capacity.
