With no pipeline connections to the lower-48, California is an “energy island” that must either produce the oil it needs in-state or import it on tankers from overseas.

A Politico article ignores how Kern County has long fought to maintain local oil production as Newsom’s policies push the state to rely heavily on foreign imports.

Governor Newsom’s failing policies have led to high costs and heavy dependence on foreign oil for basic energy needs. Sacramento must change course in the new year.

Governor Newsom and Sacramento policymakers aren’t leading an energy transition. They’re letting consumers and businesses suffer under politicized energy chaos.

More oil is needed to balance supply and demand, but California production is down more than 22% under Governor Newsom’s policies.

After repeatedly being warned that his policies would lead to supply shortages and higher costs, the Governor points fingers when gas prices spike.

Concerns about rising costs and foreign oil dependence are at a fever pitch, complicating Governor Newsom’s latest attempt to shut down oil and gas production.

County officials are trying to restrict local energy production despite voters rejecting the idea at the ballot just two months ago.

The defeat of Measures A & B in Ventura County show that oil and gas shutdown advocates are out of step with voters, the Wall Street Journal argues.
