Oil Industry Analyst: Local Gas Prices Could Soon Be As Bad As California
Clips from the story
BOSTON (CBS) – New England could be the new California when it comes to gas prices, according to oil industry analyst John Kilduff.
Why? The main reason is a lack of gas refineries in this part of the country.
“Just this week, Hess announced the closure of a big refinery that makes just gasoline in New Jersey,” Kilduff told WBZ NewsRadio 1030 Friday.
He said oil companies are cutting back massively in refining capacity and that means we’re all going to be paying the price for that.
But if the demand for gasoline is so high and prices are up, why are these companies closing refineries?
“It’s the energy industry seemingly working against consumers.”
But, Kilduff says there is a silver lining to this cloud.
“A little bit of pain at the pump is a good sign for all of us in terms of our economy going forward.”
