California sits on top of pretty large oil and natural gas fields.
So, screw’em.
“California sits on top of pretty large oil and natural gas fields.” True. Enough oil and natural gas in California for the entire USA for 200 years, easily.
The article link below blames everything but the democrats blocking oil and gas drilling and pipelines.
California blocks new drilling and Los Angeles recently voted to shutdown the hundreds of oil wells in the county.
Electricity which is produced at .6 cents as an example by the Diablo nuclear plant which the democrats ordered shutdown in 2025 thru 2030 was last fall told it could stay open for now as rolling blackouts were a big possibility.
Meanwhile the democrats force the producers to charge .20 to .30 a kw in most of the state to subsidize solar and wind which cannot compete.
I bet the price won’t come down anytime soon. The democrats have banned new natural gas hookups in much of the state. Plus no portable gas generators will be allowed.
They want you to use expensive electricity. The rolling blackouts should be a warning but it only encourages the democrats as they want the peasants sitting in the dark either cold or hot depending on the season.
California has more oil and gas then most nations yet blocks it from being used. They instead import 90% of the gas from other states......!
Kinda like having a electric car and saying you are “green” when the power comes from a power plant burning gas or coal or using nuclear.
Natural gas bills to jump ‘shockingly high’ across region, SoCalGas warns
https://www.ocregister.com/2023/01/06/your-natural-gas-bills-to-jump-shockingly-high-across-region-socalgas-warns/
SoCalGas rates are expected to more than double over the cost of last winter. If a customer’s natural gas bill totaled $130 last winter, for example, that household can expect a $315 bill this winter, according to the gas company. And the average Long Beach single-family residential customer should prepare for an increase of $200 or more on their bill, that city’s utility said.
Do with less sayeth the democrats while the party elite never do:
“Both companies advised natural gas users to lower their thermostats three to five degrees — which can result in up to a 10% reduction in heating costs. Washing clothes in cold water, limiting hot showers, turning down the temperature on your water heater...”
