California FORCING Another Refinery SHUTDOWN: Taxpayers Face Gas Price DOOM Loop in 2026

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Another California refinery bites the dust, and NOBODY is surprised. Valero's Benicia refinery announces closure by 2026, the latest casualty in California's regulatory war on the oil industry. Watch as we break down how excessive taxation and environmental regulations are driving refineries out of the state while Governor Newsom pretends to be shocked at the consequences of his own policies. With 400 jobs on the chopping block and millions in local revenue vanishing, this small town faces devastation while politicians virtue signal about going green. Is anyone actually connecting the dots between California's refinery closures and those sky-high gas prices you're paying at the pump? When will officials admit their 'green' policies are destroying communities while doing little for global emissions? Subscribe now to stay informed about the real impact of government policies on your wallet and community.
