This is a big deal, and will have ripple effects.
Canadian owned Suncor recently shut down it's refinery in Commerce City CO.
The reason for the shutdown is unclear. What is clear is the effect it's having in CO.
Suncor supplied about 45% of Colorado's gas and oil from a fracking basin on the Eastern Slope. This shut down caused immediate spikes in fuel prices.
My question is, why are they shutting down now, right during peak demand. And 2nd, how the fuck does CO get so dependant on a foreign company for it's energy?
Anyways, useless Gov Polis has declared and emergency..
