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’s energy policies have cost the state 75 million barrels of oil production – equivalent to over 42% of the emergency stockpile releases under President Biden.
