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.
