#1 I agree - no gas for the eco-nuts.

#2 Refinery capacity won't be a problem after Maxine Waters nationalizes the oil companies. :-)

#3 Insanity.

#4 Any bets the eco-nuts drove there in SUV's?

Ban them from buying gas - or use any sort of petro-based transportation (or transported goods) for 6 years.

#5 Forget refining gasoline. We should all be driving pollution-free electric cars that run on pollution-free electricity which is made from...I don't know, rubbing balloons on cats or something.

#6 Balloons are made from petroleum.

Maybe glass rods on cats? None of that man-made heated by petroleum glass either. The natural, asteroid strike stuff.

#7 Unfortunately, the asteroid strike glass forms droplets, not rods. Poor, poor, unthinking environmentalists.

#8 So how are we supposed to make heat in the winter time? Migrate? Global warming could eliminate that...

No wood, no coal, no nukes ... natural gas? Is that natural?

But, no! It makes CO2, too.

#9 All those opposing new refineries should volunteer to sail to the jungle or the location of their choice to live "naturally" without any evil modern conveniences that are destroying the earth. They are using up my ozone.

#10 Chevron should have some immediate unplanned maintenance that shuts the refinery down for two weeks. For safety reasons.

#11 We are heading for a torches and pitchfork moment.

#12 It's the Bay Area, and they sure love them some civil disobedience. What about a park in at the offices of "Communities for a Better Environment" or the "the Asian Pacific Environmental Network"?

#13 Oh: the word from On High (a city councilman, name of Butt):

"My overarching concern is that this project is going to result in increased emissions from a refinery that already has substantial toxic emissions," Butt said in an interview Thursday. "Those need to be reduced. You add one more molecule and it's significant."

Maybe it could be arranged that none of the gas stations in town get their shipments.

#14 Ima thinking a refined petro products export fee imposed by refinery rich states would fix this problem. An Organization of Petroleum Refining States if you will. Why should the good folks in Texas, Louisiana and other forward looking have to suffer for the shortsightedness of the coasters?
