Foreign oil imports are up, and in-state production is down: Newsom’s policies force California to increasingly rely on overseas regimes to meet basic energy needs.
The governor has moved aggressively to shut down oil production, but government forecasts show the state will still need 11.5 billion gallons of gas and diesel in 2035.
State data confirms demand for oil and gas is increasing in the Golden State, dealing a harsh dose of reality to Governor Newsom’s energy transition narrative.
The governor has extended the life of natural gas generators, recognizing they are necessary to maintain grid reliability. Energy activists aren’t happy about it.
