On February18, Exxon Mobiles’s Torrence refinery exploded, boosting gas prices by almost a dollar a gallon.

Ted Lieu and Maxine Waters sent out a letter to Rafael Moure-Eraso, Chairman of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, asking for an investigation.

Moure-Eraso okayed the investigation. This has been the third major refinery explosion since 1988.

American explosions occur 47 times as often as those in Europe.

Lieu and Waters asked if this explosion is a pattern among refineries.

California requires a special blend of oil which is mandated by law.

Moure-Eraso expressed concern about the incident and said it would be investigated.
