Greed?
TWo shut down around Philly and one in the Virgin Islands that supply the east coast pretty much.
VI was supposed to get 700 million in EPA retrofits, they told them pound salt.
East coast refineries process Brent crude and the ones out west do a dirtier type oil which uses different set up from what I read.
And they are exporting gas because they get a better price than here.

Run 'closing refineries' on google for more.
