GasBuddy started an emergencypetition on Friday calling on Governor Brown to obtain an EPA waiver to prevent gasoline price increases of at least 50-cents a gallon in Southern California and 30-cents in Northern California.
As Breitbart News warned in December in “Brown Needs Oil Trains to Prevent Skyrocketing Energy Prices,: decades of anti-oil-production-policies in the Democrat-controlled state had made residents highly reliant on inconsistent supplies of oil from Iraq and oil trains from North Dakota. With supplies now breaking down, Californians are sure to be angry paying $5 a gallon for gasoline.
GasBuddy noted that an “extraordinary convergence of fuel supply problems this week in California prompted severe spikes in wholesale gasoline prices and experts say there’s no immediate relief in sight.” CEO Jason Toews sent Governor Brown a letter asking him to consult with the EPA and Department of Energy about a California gas regulation standards waiver due to “extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstances.” Toews emphasized that such action has been taken in the past, and hoped the Governor would recognize the burden “especially for people struggling to pay the bills.”

California voters went full retard.
NEVER go full retard.
$2.25 out on the national guard base near here, in Alabama. Would not live in the commie state of Kaliforniastan if I were offered millions. I simply do not want to live in the commie states for anything!
Well they didn’t want to do an overkill since they are also pursuing a mileage tax to also help kill the economy.
Art Laffer said it best. When asked why any business continues to stay and put up with the incredibly oppressive environment in California, he answered
“Why are the pretty girls generally the meanest? Because they CAN be.”

The limousine liberals want all those little people off of their highways.
The streets of Richmond were full of activists recently saying heck NO to oil trains passing thru there..
They used to call it Port of Richmond.. a lot of ports way back when.. folks were fighting over resources back then too..
Times change,, not.
Let em roll!
I feel very sad for my California FRiends. I have family still in CA, but California voted themselves into becoming Detroit, Chicago, and Baltimore. Therefore, with no Republican in any office of note, the voters have no one to blame but themselves. They voted for the destruction of their once great state.
There was a 60 cent rise in the gas tax this year.
Repeal it Mr Brown.
Hard to believe the Ronald Reagan was governor at one time. God, did the liberals hate him then........
The Dem have nothing to worry about ..the fools out here will buy the oil company’s are screwing them line, hook line and sinker...it will never ever be the governments fault
Cali is a hot looking psycho bitch from hell......kind of that “Fatal Attraction” thing going on?
Chinese who want to get their $$ out of Chicom-Land.
illegals and anchor babies and liberals
