noncompliance has nothing to do with Phillips closing the plant. they see a far left Kalifornica government led by Newsom "at war" with the fossil fuel industry and they are leaving.

Reread the postings.

Hell, if they could do that, they would write themselves out of a job.

I wouldn't know but how the hell would they put it in storage if the plant kept going off line?!
Seeing as Cali is the home of CARB (California Air Resource Board, mother of clean air) they gesticulate in the state government halls about making the air beautiful.
And it is possible. With coal and refining plants.
But as stated, I would venture to guess that near a 100% of such plants in the USA (don't quote me on that) are grandfathered or could use significant upgrades.
When was the last time a brand new power plant or refinery built? I tell you the technology has been on the books for a long time to make a clean coal plant and refinery.
Maybe the Cali guv is trying to get/force one made.
