I'll have to look at the "green" energy industry and see if there is a cascading effect.
I’m pretty sure refineries are somewhat locked-in to certain inbound product(light/sweet, heavy/sour) and outbound production type.

I think refineries can be reconfigured but it can be a pretty massive job.

So I think the refinery slice can add a lot of additional complexity, and reduce flexibility/adaptability, to the energy supply chain.
