Meanwhile in the Democrat hellhole of California…
California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill to hold Big Oil accountable – only it will lead to gas shortages and price hikes.
Big Oil “has been screwing you for decades,” Newsom said.
“Price spikes have cost Californians billions of dollars over the years, and we’re not waiting around for the industry to do the right thing,” Newsom said.
“We’re taking action to prevent these price spikes and save consumers money at the pump,” he said.
The bill passed the California Assembly last week with a 41-16 vote. Many Democrats did not vote and four voted against the radical measure.
The measure will force local refineries to stockpile fuel and if they don’t follow the new regulations they can be fined up to $1 million PER DAY.
The heavy fines will inevitably be passed down to the consumer and cause gas prices to spike. more here
They may leave LA but they’re unlikely to arrive elsewhere. The barriers to constructing a new refinery are all but insurmountable.
When these refineries leave they need to tear the whole complex down to the ground to the point where none of it can be rebuilt. Then these refineries need to just give the land along with the massive pile of rubble to Californicate to try to build elite homes and businesses on this deeply contaminated soil. They also need to file and have approved a Federal Injunction to prevent Californicate from trying to sue them.
Wait until the Commierats install him in the WH. That bastard also is mandating the only new cars that will be allowed for sale in 2035 will be electric vehicles. This must be part of that plan to drive out oil companies and shutter gas stations in order to usher in the electric vehicle utopia.
It’s part of their sinister plan to force people to stay. Just how far do you think you’re going to get with your moving van when it’s electric?
No great loss in California. I bet those morons think they can purchase electricity by the gallon
^^^ At a gas station,no less.
Takes a lotta balls to do something like this while calling President Trump a despot, tyrant, and dictator.
According to the governor “the oil companies are screwing you. They’ve been doing it for years.” Newsom should look up the definition of PROJECTION.
Liberal politicians lack any semblance of common sense and never consider the eventual outcome of their insane policies. That is, unless they are intentionally attempting to destroy the country. Makes one think doesn’t it?
Will there be a leaving California tax on top of moving cost?
The left is incredibly spiteful.
California’s transportation needs will be met by the horse they rode in on
…do this as you leave…

Mutts hit the road. Manufacturing facilities like oil refineries don’t. They can be shut down though. If it’s worthless to stay in California the thing to do is split. Just gave to work the deal.
CA excise tax on gasoline has more than doubled since 2017, from 27.8 cents to 59.6 cents per gallon.
That’s in addition to federal taxes and fees.
Democrats are either the stupidest people on earth for thinking they can fine (or tax) corporations to help the little people. Or they are most evil by gaslighting the little people into thinking it’s all good for them – and it would work except for the corporation’s greed? Morons.
I know, supposedly, 150 + IQ people that can’t figure this out. The scale must’ve been 1000 when they were told their IQs.
Stupid should hurt.
If they do leave they’ll still have Jerry Nadler to provide the refinery smell…
“The measure will force local refineries to stockpile fuel…”
…fuel is volatile. It loses potentcy with long storage.
It also turns to varnish if you store it TOO long.

Strong STRONG recommendation for CA oil refiners:
Read (re-read) Atlas Shrugged paying close attention to Ellis Wyatt.
****** assholes think any business is for harvesting
@Anon1002 — ****** assholes simply DON’T think in any rational way.
They especially don’t think there’s any link between capital property and wealth creation. In fact, they don’t think there’s any difference between money and wealth.
