"What Newsom is doing is a government shakedown. He is hostile to oil. I don't blame the oil companies. They should get out of the oil business and maybe go into the nuclear energy business and supply California with clean nuclear energy. Less chance of violations. supply electricity to vehicles and conserve Propane which generates most of California's electricity. Use propane to power farming and industrial. Convert diesel engines to propane. Get some lower income Californians to buy propane vehicles." Comment to this post.
From comments to this post:
"California Governor Gavin Newsom went from attacking Chevron as a "price gouging polluter" to desperately begging them to stay. Chevron CEO Mike Wirth finally responded: "I'm not surprised refineries are shutting down. California made it nearly impossible to invest." Complete 180-degree reversal in 12 months. ' . . .
. . . "October 14, 2024: Newsom signs AB X2-1 targeting refinery operations, declares victory against "corporate greed." October 16, 2024: Phillips 66 announces LA refinery closure exactly 48 HOURS later—138,700 b/d closing December 2025. April 2025: Valero announces Benicia closure (145,000 b/d) closing mid-2026. Combined: 284,000 b/d (20% California capacity) exiting after AB X2-1. Newsom dismisses as "business decisions." . . .

"They’ve been working on the high-speed railroad and I’ve got zero done and don’t even have permit yet. It’s been over a decade and billions and billions of dollars. Trump added a whole new West wing onto the White House with golden marble in about four months. And it didn’t cost a taxpayer a dime. There’s the difference in a business man/builder being president and a career politician, like Gavin surrounded by waste fraud and abuse. They can get nothing done. Trump has proved he can get s**t done and he can make it happen quickly."
Inside the emerging push to knock Newsom off his perch as the Dems' 2028 frontrunner . . . "Affordability, housing and homelessness remain big problems in California, despite Newsom initiatives as mayor and governor to address them.
