The Phillips 66 and Marathon Petroleum are permanently converting their East Bay refineries to produce renewable, bio-based diesel fuel from plant-based materials.

"Yes, we'll be as vulnerable or more to disruptions just because there's less alternative sources to diversity that production amongst.

California could import its special blend of gas from other refineries in the U.S. or overseas that have the ability to make it and ship it here, mostly by ocean tankers ships.
