Declining in-state production means more foreign oil tankers coming to California ports, but the Golden State may not have the infrastructure to meet gasoline demand with imported crude.

A new state government report provides a much-needed reality check for the governor’s fanciful energy talking points.

The governor called a special session to push policies that his own government says could cause shortages and raise prices at the pump.

Economists criticize state energy policies and dismiss Newsom’s price gouging claims as “conspiracy theories inconsistent with economic logic and the available data.”

Those who understand energy won’t be surprised that California is projected to fall down economic rankings in 2024.

J.P. Morgan analysts say the U.S. has “achieved energy independence for the first time in 40 years.” Meanwhile, California has chosen the opposite path.

Instead of producing more of the oil its economy needs at home, the Golden State is choosing to import more than 875,000 barrels per day from overseas.

Amid rising prices and a severe affordability crisis, Sacramento should be looking for ways to provide relief to working families. But instead, the state’s energy policies are only making matters worse.

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.
