The problem the west is facing is a logistics one in addition to corporate greed. The unfortunate problem we have is a lack of access to our own refineries. California has some but a lot are offline due to maintenance. So we have to get more refined fuels from across the country to meet the demand….there’s also the whole thing of if the people pay for it it keeps getting worse.

We actually do have several refineries, especially in Anacortes and Bellingham. But whose oil is it being refined? I personally think oil companies purposefully stick it to west coast states.
