Severin Borenstein, faculty director of the Energy Institute at UC Berkeley, raises a critical question: 'How are we gonna make it work in a way that doesn't cause a real burden, particularly on low-income households who are almost certainly gonna be the ones who still have the older cars that burn gasoline?' This highlights the potential socioeconomic impacts of transitioning away from traditional refining and fuel sources.
Borenstein mentions that California's shift toward electric vehicles may ultimately reduce the number of refineries like Phillips 66 in the state. With the Phillips 66 Los Angeles Refinery accounting for 8% of California's crude oil capacity, its closure could mark a significant change in the state's energy landscape and push toward alternative energy solutions.
