Oil

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
And you accuse me of using AI to replace my thinking.

I challenged your notion of what causes high Cali gas prices with data and facts (some dependent on politics but not all) and your brain can't handle it so you just go back to default mode of ignoring reality.

If a republican governor wins in November I guarantee they would open up fracking and encourage reopening and building of additional refineries which would further reduce gas prices…it could all (in a rational world) happen in less than a year

Less than a year is logistically impossible but I'll let AI tell this to you again (and like I have said, oil prices and policy do not make the entirety of what is going on):

  • Oil prices matter most: California gas prices do move with global oil prices, so your friend is right that falling oil would help.
  • Taxes/regulations do add cost: Reducing them would likely lower prices somewhat, though not eliminate the gap with other states.
  • But supply changes aren’t fast: Opening new fracking or building/refining capacity typically takes years, not months, due to financing, construction, and permitting—regardless of which party is in power.
  • Geography and infrastructure still matter: Even with policy changes, California would still face higher costs because it’s relatively isolated from major U.S. fuel supply networks.

Bottom line: Policy absolutely affects prices, but it’s one piece of a bigger system—and some of the biggest constraints (like infrastructure and timelines) don’t change quickly with a new governor.
 
(like infrastructure and timelines) don’t change quickly with a new governor.

Like “borders can’t be closed in just months…that’s magical thinking”…well, we’re never gonna know on cali oil because I flat out told you it wasn’t going to happen, I even told you why😂😂😂👎🏽🦄🌈

Is Newsome the Boogie Man?

This is like Hawaii blaming politics because imported goods are expensive so they should have built an under ocean tunnel.

yes, he is. When he should’ve been building energy infrastructure, (with transportation tax dollars) he was wasting money building bridges to nowhere for bears and butterflies. As if Hawaii had built that under ocean tunnel, but our moron actually did it.😡😡😡👎🏽🦄🌈

Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, the world's largest wildlife crossing, was announced by Newsom in 2022.

The overpass is currently being built over the 10-lane highway, US 101, and is designed to keep humans and animals safer.
The governor pledged more than $50 million toward the bridge, which is being built to be used by any animal from a butterfly to a bear.
Four years later, Newsom's office has found another $18.8 million through the California Transportation Commission for the project, it was announced in February.
