The company announced the decision after the refinery erupted into a massive fire and explosion last week. It's the 10th largest refinery in the US and refines about 335,000 barrels of crude oil a day, according to the company's website.AAA spokeswoman Jenifer Moore said the closure of the largest oil refinery on the East Coast will likely have an impact on gas prices in and around the region.
I want to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication and to thank the Philadelphia community for their support. We are committed to an orderly process to safely wind down our operations."The company plans to sell the refinery complex, Smith added.
Well California will use it as an excuse to raise prices also
Could rise? They have already risen $.34 in Florida the last week. You don't have any reporters down here?
The price we pay to combat climate change.
Well, it has been reported that this is not the first recent fire at such facility. Perhaps the FBI should investigate. That is instead of investigating fake Dems/non capitalists' concoctions against POTUS
Not even shut down yet and gas in canton Ohio jumped to 2:75 a gallon this is what you call price fixing
No they won't CNN is fake news
Not a good week for brotherly love, right IlhanMN?
It has been reported that the monthly cost for each illegal child hopping the southern border is $7500. Hmmmm how about Congress giving legal citizenry $7500 each month. We taxpayers are suckers.
Why
So basically you’re saying under realDonaldTrump us getting oil refineries to close and find alternative oil? Biofuels. Gotcha!
More reasons to love Philly!
Its all ok, the environmentalist are celebrating! These high paying jobs will never be replaced!
