True. #California should keep its in-state #oil production as long as its byproducts and transportation fuels are required. Newsom’s shutdown agenda simply outsources California’s pollution & climate impacts to bad actors. It also spikes the prices! #gasoline#energy
We had over 40 refineries.
Now we’re down to 7.
And Sacramento wonders why Californians are paying almost $2 more per gallon of gasoline than the national average.

100 percent true. I said it back in 2020 during a hearing and was immediately attacked by left wing environmental groups who denied this. Now they cannot hide from it. Glad this truth is getting into #California policy discussions. #AmazonRainforest
California’s energy policy contradiction is impossible to ignore.
We are shutting down in-state oil production, produced under some of the strictest environmental and labor standards in the world, while increasing reliance on imported oil from foreign nations with little to no protections.
That’s not reducing emissions.
It also puts 55,000 California jobs at risk and sends billions of dollars overseas. Californians still rely on oil every day for transportation, infrastructure, and thousands of essential products.
We can produce energy responsibly here at home, or become more dependent on foreign nations.
That’s the real choice.
