A California Superior Court Judge has halted an expansion at Chevron's Richmond oil refinery until it produces a new environmental impact report and receives a new permit from the Richmond City Council, according to this article in the San Francisco Chronicle.  The downside - workers will lose $50 to $75 million in income and the city will lose $61 million pledged to community programs until the issues get resolved.
