California is aggressively shutting down in-state oil and gas production, leading to higher gas prices as Californians are forced to rely on costly oil imports for basic energy needs.

Failing policies have led to a 43% decline in local oil production under Governor Newsom, forcing the state to rely on an expensive foreign oil supply chain for basic energy needs.

The group ignores how relying fully on oil imports would require port upgrades and refinery modifications that would cost consumers billions.

Experts agree the governor’s reckless shutdown agenda will extend the state’s reliance on volatile foreign energy markets and harm low-income Californians the most.

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.

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.

State, federal, and academic experts agree that California will maintain high demand for oil over the next three decades. The governor’s policies disregard their projections.

Policies curbing domestic oil production cede influence over energy markets and fuel costs to foreign regimes.
