red states rule

No wonder gas prices are going up and are so high in California - no company can refine oil in that state. No wonder business are leaving the state and the state is in such dire straights, the rule of law is subverted by environmentalists who *think* something might happen and a judge agrees that these are reasonable grounds to issue an injunction.
We have seen how Cap and Trade like policies and hostility towards business has destroyed California economically yet we have people in Washington who want to implement these policies on a national level.
Judge halts Chevron's Richmond refinery expansion
A judge has ordered Chevron Corp. to halt expansion of its Richmond oil refinery pending further environmental review.
Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge Barbara Zuniga said Thursday that the oil giant must clarify whether the expanded facility will process heavy crude oil, which generates more pollution than lighter crude.
Will Rostov, an Earthjustice attorney who filed the suit, says the judge's decision means the city of Richmond will have to study Chevron's expansion plans more critically.
Chevron says it plans to refine light and intermediate crude at the expanded refinery, not heavy crude. The San Ramon, Calif.-based company says the expansion will make the facility safer.
