California's self-inflicted gas crisis is about to hit wallets HARD with projections of $8.43 per gallon by 2026. Watch as Valero and Phillips 66 refineries flee the state, taking millions in revenue and leaving a gasoline deficit of up to 13 million gallons daily. Why? Because California's virtue-signaling politicians have created a regulatory nightmare while banning gas vehicles by 2035. As usual, Sacramento claims to be 'protecting consumers' while refineries that have operated for decades are saying 'we're done.' Remember when officials blamed 'price gouging' for high gas prices? How's that working out now that companies are shutting down entirely? The most painful part? Those hit hardest will be everyday Californians already struggling to make ends meet.
Is this what 'green leadership' looks like—skyrocketing costs and greater dependence on Middle Eastern oil shipped on carbon-belching tankers? Will Gavin Newsom admit his policies are driving this crisis, or find someone else to blame?
