Gavin Newsom Democrats
They can choke on it
One-party state run by commucrats.
“Reduce pollution” is the most absurd argument possible. Only in the fevered minds of leftist idiots is a clear, odorless, inert gas a “pollutant.”
How many oil refineries are being shut down in CA in the near future?
Just a few weeks before, Newscum made a big deal of signing legislation to prevent higher gasoline prices. What a creep.
“”Governor Newsom Signs Legislation To Prevent Gas Price Spikes And Save Californians Money””
They keep voting for it, let it burn.
If Big Oil had the balls the roughnecks working for them did, they would tell California to go pound sand, we aint making that for you. Find someone else to do it.
I think they’re shutting down nuclear plants in California too. Just like Germany.
“The low carbon fuel standard has already successfully created lower-cost, lower-carbon alternatives, and the benefits of the proposal vastly outweigh those costs,” Steven Cliff, the agency’s executive officer, said last month.

That’s because public servant Steve Cliff can afford those costs
PS: I worked on a Service rig for a year when I was 19, best damned thing to ever happen to young men full of piss and vinegar...
Another elitist snob making a THIRD of a MILLION dollars every year. He can afford a 65 cent increase in gasoline prices.
It’s too bad this wasn’t taking effect in January 2024. It could have turned a lot of races.
Also, there IS NO SUCH THING as “lower carbon” gasoline. Gasoline is hydrogen and carbon — that’s it.
Their “lower carbon” BS means using anything BUT gasoline to power the transportation industry. It’s all Democrat subterfuge and misdirection just like the “Inflation Reduction Act.”
My thoughts exactly.
That’s because they’re all fools.
Big flip. Choke on it.
Still no actual details of what they are planning to do.
Because the big election year is over, and they don’t give a floppy-flip how much the consumers complain.
Democracies convince the population to go in One Direction, dictators just beat you over the head. Guess which is California plan!
I saw gas for $2.99 today in Upstate NY.
It will also hit the blue state moron voters whose state governments sanctimoniously decided to follow Kalifornistan’s emissions standards.
What “lower cost alternatives”? The only thing I can think of lower cost is a bicycle.
