Damn, I sure hope nobody does any bombings or other acts of sabotage that would be considered terrorism against those refineries. That would be awful.
Chevron can just throw meat and money (probably subsidized direct by the Trump admin) at a refinery as long as they need. Otoh, corporate offices are located in CA and TX apparently.
