The battle of Marcus Hook continues unabated.
Yes, things are looking break for the union workers who man two local refineries. Both ConocoPhillips and Sunoco have made it abundantly clear that they want out of the refining business.
That point became even more acute last week when Sunoco admitted that while they had conversations with a lot of people about potentially buying their Marcus Hook refinery, no one came forward with a real proposal. They now do not believe they will find a buyer and are moving ahead with plans to shutter the facility.
Today there will be a key hearing of a state Senate panel to consider the impact of closing the two local refineries, as well as Sunoco’s facility in South Philadelphia.
One of the key aspects being looked at today will be the impact that the refinery closings in Trainer and Marcus Hook could have on the supply of petroleum products – including gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil – in Pennsylvania.
We’ll have complete coverage with Kathleen Carey in Harrisburg.
