Policymakers are realizing that changing how the world’s fifth-largest economy produces and consumes energy is a massively complicated undertaking – and costs a lot of money.

Governor Newsom continues to limit oil and gas production, making Californians more dependent on unreliable foreign oil for basic needs well beyond transportation fuels.

A new study shows electricity demand from air conditioning will exceed California’s grid capacity in less than 10 years.

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.

Without a decrease in demand, in-state production cuts will only result in more foreign oil imports. Forecasts show California’s oil demand will remain stable for decades.

Governor Newsom’s recent Executive Order ignores the consequences of pushing energy policies ahead of our energy reality.

As the grid operator, utilities and state officials point fingers, a fundamental truth emerges: California needs significant gas-fired power to keep the lights on and the A/C running.

As COVID-19 interrupts critical global supply chains, California must recognize heavy dependence on foreign oil puts its people and businesses at risk.

While activists continue to call for California to keep its energy resources in the ground, all levels of government have declared the oil and natural gas supply chain as critical infrastructure necessary to power essential services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
