Governor Newsom’s energy policies are making the state increasingly vulnerable to price spikes and supply interruptions driven by global geopolitics.

The newspaper’s Editorial Board railed against air pollution from local ports four days after calling for energy policies that will make the problem much worse.

The governor’s proposal would save just $0.03 per gallon when Californians are paying a staggering $1.35 per gallon more than the national average.

The climate agenda is undercutting American power and enriching foreign autocrats. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Experts agree the lack of U.S. production is causing a global supply crunch. OPEC isn’t going to fix the mess our bad energy policies created.

Policy decisions should be based in a cold assessment of costs and benefits. Newsom’s moves to shut down in-state oil production are big on costs – and lack any real benefits.

As prices skyrocket amid a worsening energy crisis, the policies championed by President Biden and Governor Newsom are taking heat from all sides.

The drive toward cleaner energy is nothing new; energy companies have been developing safer, more affordable ways to power our lives for centuries.

Disadvantaged communities near California ports already suffer from poor air quality. Choosing to rely fully on foreign oil imports will only make matters worse.
