Why California’s Refinery Closures Matter for Fuel Prices

Refineries are shutting down, prices are spiking, and California seems to be steering straight into an energy crisis. In this clip from Jobbers: American Energy, Jason Case and Lauren Roberts unpack how recent refinery closures are slicing away at California’s fuel supply, and why state policy isn’t doing anything to stop it.

They break down the real risks of California's net-zero push, why $8 per gallon gas is not far off, and how elected leaders are ignoring the economic consequences. Plus, Lauren explains her experience on the CFC committee and what industry insiders are saying behind the scenes.

In This Clip

• Why Phillips 66 and Valero refineries are shutting down
• How 20% of refining capacity just disappeared
• Why California’s energy policy is fueling a supply crisis
