Fire at Texas oil refinery
The Valero Port Arthur refinery is considered one of the largest and most sophisticated refineries in the United States, with a significant capacity to process heavy and sour crudes, including those from #Venezuela. -
Fire out and shelter-in-place order is lifted after #OilRefinery explosion near #Texas coast
By HALLIE GOLDEN
Updated 7:29 AM EDT, March 24, 2026"An oil refinery fire near the Texas coast was put out Tuesday and a shelter-in-place order was lifted, hours after a large explosion at the complex shot plumes of smoke into the air, officials said.
"No one was injured in Monday’s explosion at the #Valero refinery in #PortArthur, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Houston, Mayor Charlotte M. Moses said. She had urged residents in parts of the west side of the city to stay put.
" 'There’s been an explosion, yes, but we’re OK; everybody’s OK,' she said. 'They’re trying to put the fire out as quickly as possible.'
"Residents at least several miles away said they felt their homes shake. Some schools in the area were closed Tuesday as a precaution.
"The explosion comes amid a spike in gas prices driven by uncertainty over the global oil supply because of the Iran war.
"The refinery has about 770 employees and can process about 435,000 barrels of oil per day, according to Valero’s website. The plant refines heavy sour crude oil into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel."

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Huge Explosion at Oil Refinery Forces Residents to Shelter in Place by Leigh Kimmins
@NatCon2022A massive explosion tore through one of the country’s largest oil refineries Monday, sending towering plumes of smoke into the sky and forcing nearby residents to shelter in place. The blast struck the Valero refinery near the Texas coast, around 90 miles east of Houston—a facility capable of processing 435,000 barrels of oil per day and employing about 770 workers. No injuries were reported. “There’s been an explosion, yes, but we’re OK; everybody’s OK,” the local mayor said. “They’re trying to put the fire out as quickly as possible.” The timing could hardly be worse. Gas prices are already spiking amid global supply uncertainty driven by President Donald Trump’s war in Iran. Early indications on Tuesday showed that the price of oil was ticking back up to around $102 a barrel after a slight reprieve caused by Trump’s insistence (since contradicted by Iran) that peace could be on the horizon. Texas state Rep. Christian Manuel urged residents near the refinery to stay indoors. “Please limit outdoor activity, keep windows and doors closed, and follow guidance from local officials,” he said.

🔥 🇺🇸 "Rafineria #Valero w Port Arthur (Teksas) jest jednym z najważniejszych obiektów energetycznych w USA, o zgłoszonej zdolności przerobowej wynoszącej prawie 400 000 baryłek dziennie, przetwarzającym ciężką, kwaśną ropę naftową na produkty o wysokiej wartości, takie jak benzyna, olej napędowy i paliwo lotnicze."
No to właśnie doszło w niej do eksplozji.
Co za przypadek?🤔
Niszczą sobie nawzajem światowi wojownicy infrastrukturę paliwową i energetyczną, odsalarki wody, blokują trasy żeglugi.
Bogole dadzą sobie radę, zapłacą za to ludzie.
Jak tak dalej pójdzie, będziemy jeździć konno lub rowerem. Bardzo lubię konie i rowery. -

Arne Panula was right
— a new “Great Awakening” was coming.But it wouldn’t rise up from the student population.
Instead, it would emerge out of the dark-money networks.
The recruitment of Leonard Leo would cement ties between Opus Dei and the U.S. Supreme Court that had been developing for decades.
Antonin Scalia had once been at the center of this relationship
— the Justice had given talks at the Catholic Information Center and at the Reston Study Center,
which was the male numerary residence in Washington’s suburbs that hosted regular get-togethers for Opus Dei members.Only the year before, Scalia had also attended an Opus Dei retreat at the prelature’s $10 million, 844-acre property near the Shenandoah Mountains.
His children and grandchildren attended Opus Dei schools.
He was best friends with Father Malcolm Kennedy, an Opus Dei priest who often came around for dinner at Scalia’s house,
after which the two would often belt out Broadway tunes.But with Leo and his network of dark money, Opus Dei’s penetration of Washington’s political and judicial worlds would now reach unprecedented levels.
That Christmas, like many Christmases before it, the Supreme Court hosted its annual holiday party.
As always, Father Malcolm was seated at the piano, playing carols for the assembled dignitaries,
having been invited by Scalia.As he played, the Justices
— the most powerful legal figures in America
— sang along to the tune played by the Opus Dei priest.It was a dark portent for what was to come.
Leonard Leo's contribution to this reshaping of the Court would soon involve much more than providing a list of amenable conservative justices.
Within weeks of Scalia’s death in February 2016,
he began to mobilize hundreds of millions of dollars to make his dream of reshaping the Court
— and wider society
— a reality.While his appointment to the board of the CIC was still relatively recent,
in reality Leo had been juggling several side hustles during his more than twenty years at the Federalist Society
— usually at nonprofit organizations linked to Catholic causes close to his heart.In 2008, he had become the chair of "Students for Life of America", an organization conceived along the same lines as the Federalist Society,
but dedicated to setting up local chapters at high schools and colleges across the country
devoted to #fighting #abortion.In 2012, he joined the "Catholic Association", a small nonprofit dedicated to promoting the Catholic voice in the public arena that had been set up by the Opus Dei activist Neil Corkery.
Leo’s entrance coincided with a sudden upswing in the finances of the Catholic Association,
which hitherto had raised next to no money
— but which suddenly saw almost $2 million flood in.The money was used to set up two advocacy groups.
One was called the "Catholic Association Foundation", which soon became a conduit for funding various media initiatives
— including a radio station in Maine, where a referendum on same-sex marriage legislation was on the ballot.The other was called "Catholic Voices", which had been started by #Jack #Valero, Opus Dei’s spokesperson in London,
as a way to shift media narratives concerning Catholic issues.Within months of being set up, “volunteers” from the group had given interviews or published comment pieces on a variety of issues,
including abortion and same-sex marriage,
in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times.At one conference hosted by the organization, a priest from Opus Dei was on hand to offer the benediction.

As congressional Republicans advanced legislation that would clear the way for new oil and gas infrastructure, #Valero contributed $250,000 each to the #House and #Senate #GOP #super #PACs.
The company also reported spending $60,000 lobbying the House and Senate on “issues related to infrastructure permitting,” among other topics.
While the push for “permitting reform” stalled, the deal reached by the Joe Biden administration and congressional Republicans in May to raise the federal debt limit included a provision expediting the controversial #Mountain #Valley #Pipeline — which opponents say will cause emissions equivalent to twenty-six new coal-fired power plants — and shielding the project from further legal challenges.
#Valero reported #lobbying on permitting issues in the debt ceiling deal, as did Texas-based #Energy #Transfer #Partners, whose billionaire chairman Kelcy Warren gave $5,000 to the Congressional Leadership Fund in March. Energy Transfer also donated $2 million to the fund last year.
While neither Valero nor Energy Transfer are among the consortium of companies involved with the Mountain Valley Pipeline, both companies have faced their own recent permitting woes.
In 2021, legal challenges and intense public opposition halted a planned pipeline that would have transported crude oil from Valero’s Memphis, Teneessee, refinery to Mississippi for export — but local activists fear the company is looking for a way to revive the project.
And Energy Transfer, the company behind the fiercely contested Dakota Access Pipeline, is currently at odds with the Biden administration over the denial of a permit for a planned liquefied natural gas export terminal in Louisiana.
