Notes
Houston Public Media reported on March 13, 2026 that emergency crews and pollution control responded to a fire at Pasadena chemical plant. This incident indicates the facility experienced damage and likely shut down operations for emergency response and investigation. The subsequent news about gas price spikes and California's pricing law suggest refinery capacity constraints in the region, consistent with reduced output from this facility.
