California Regulators Propose Gov’t Takeover Of Oil Refineries To Stave Off Energy Crisis

They want gas to be unaffordable
Everything else they have tried in their mission to make people stop buying real vehicles has failed.
/—-/ How will they stop people on the east border of Nevada from driving to the next state to buy gas?
If I lived in Texas, I open a gas station right on the state line.

/——/ Thanks. I fixed it. Easy coast mistake. I hear so many are fleeing California for Texas. I should have said Nevada.
There are several gas stations right on the border of Nevada and California, on BOTH sides. Nevadans go to California gas stations to buy lotto tickets as multistate lotto is illegal in Nevada.
 
The transition won't be nice but the higher the gas price the quicker the oil company's will be downsized . They deserve not a ounce of support by the people of this country , they literally are the enemy. There are many businesses like that now.

The federal govt is the enemy of this country. They are antithetical to the constitution and they need to to be thrown down. Just as the founders call for.
 
I have just as much confidence in the California government's ability to properly run the oil refineries as I do in its ability to complete the high speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco in time and on budget.

California regulators have proposed a variety of government intrusions into the petroleum industry in order to combat future energy price surges, according to a report released Thursday by the California Energy Commission (CEC).

As the Golden State continues to pursue its green agenda, the CEC expects some of California’s nine oil refineries to be shuttered due to falling demand, which would give the remaining refineries increased pricing power and raise the possibility of a surge in gas prices, the study concluded. To solve this problem, the commission proposed a variety of government interventions, including expanded regulation on private refineries, the establishment of state-owned refineries and an increase in imports.

“The State of California would purchase and own refineries in the State to manage the supply and price of gasoline,” wrote the study’s authors, with the scope of the initiative ranging from “one refinery to all refineries in the state.”
Kamala Harris will do for the country what Democrats have done for California.

Sounds like Chevron knew this was coming.

Taking over the refineries is a terrible idea.

Chevron moved most of their business to Texas several years ago. Isn't Citgo also in Texas now? Yeah .. they are in Houston in that energy corridor.

Yet your team can't get enough of the hundreds of millions in political loot that they throw at you.
