Re: Martinez (CA) Refinery Fire

I've read there are a number of refineries in the bay area way past their recommended life span and a couple of them were to be shut down last year or so.

I guess it's at least a 4 hour drive so no danger to us here. I don't know how many refineries there are in California, or what areas they serve. But I would not be surprised to have shortages and price hikes. Yep, good idea to top off the tanks, just in case.

Re: Martinez (CA) Refinery Fire

Here’s a breakdown of the refineries in California and their percentage contribution to CARB complaint gas: https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-repor...oil-refineries

The recent fire that swept through the “green energy” battery storage plant in the Bay Area was something too.
