Newsom BEGS Oil Companies To Stay After DESTROYING Industry | Taxpayer Gas Price NIGHTMARE
Manage episode 479905279 series 2792715
Gavin Newsom's latest flip-flop would be comical if it weren't so pathetic. After years of battering California's oil and gas industry with crushing regulations, carbon neutrality demands, and margin caps, Newsom is suddenly begging refineries not to leave the state. Why? His 2028 presidential aspirations can't afford $8/gallon gas prices when Valero and Phillips 66 shut down their operations.
Watch as we break down California's self-inflicted energy crisis: from importing 70% of their oil (up from just 4.5% in 1988), to Newsom's desperate letter pleading with refineries to stay after spending years driving them out. The Governor who championed policies to phase out gasoline now realizes his constituents actually need affordable fuel – shocking, right?
Is there anything more two-faced than destroying an industry and then panicking when they leave? How many more refineries need to close before Democrats admit their policies have failed?
