Yep. We’ve got two refineries closing in the state - due to the high cost of doing business, taxes, regulations and Newsom’s “Green” Policies - representing some 17-22% of gas sold in California.
Newsom is busy trying to find a buyer for one of the refineries - Yeah, Good luck with that!!
I’ve seen predictions of $8/gas coming b/c of Newsom’s war on “Big Oil” - the same “Big Oil” that is the lifeblood of the economy.
If the GOP were smart (not holding my breath) - they have a LOT of ammunition to use against Newsom that should end any presidential aspirations he has. I don’t trust the GOP to use any of it...
Example: Debate where DeSantis destroyed Newsom.
Is California still trying to force everyone into EV's? How dependable is the power there?
My wife and I have both an EV car and a gas pickup in part because I don't want all of our transportation eggs in one basket. If the Dims mess up our access to gasoline, we have an EV. If the Dims mess up our access to power, we have the gas pickup. But that's feasible only for certain use cases (i.e. we can charge at home, and we drive tons of miles -- enough for the gas savings to be worth the extra costs of an EV).
Gas goes to $8 a gallon. Newscum sets up checkpoints fining commisfornia drivers entering the state with a full tank of gas.
