Gubmint regs you ask?



I use to work at an oil refinery.

that refinery has to buy "carbon credits" to stay in biddness. The gubmint said so.

They bought carbon credits from companies like tesla, who got a whole bunch of em for free. from the gubmint, picking sides.

Tens of millions of dollars per year AND THE PRICE WENT UP EVERY YEAR. because of the gubmint.

So at the end of last month, they shut down their main gasoline producing unit for good.
Permanente, even turned in the operating permit. fini.
they did that because of the carbon credits regulations and no other reason.

I'm sure those of you in So Cal noticed it, when the price at the pumps went up about 20 cents a gallon.

Thanks gubmint, for letting us all make tesla (almost) profitable.

it's only $3.81 a gallon (average price in California, second highest in the country), that's less than they pay in you-rup. For now at least.
