Most of the problems with gas prices in California are a result of the bureaucrats and regulators in Sacramento. " Two recent studies have confirmed what the Register's Editorial Board has warned since 2006 – California's Global Warming Solutions Act will have devastating effects on the state's economy, and even be counterproductive in its goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."---CALIFORNIA'S FUEL POLICIES ARE --JACKED UP" ------ Furthermore, Governor Brown wants to raise taxes and this will drive more businesses out of the State!!--- This is what happens when liberalism runs rampant!!--- Editorial: How to choke California's economy | california, fuel, study - Opinion - The Orange County Register
again... baloney for sale and only the right wing buys it. Did you MISS the statement from the oil spokesman who stated "THEY" sold all the EXCESS OIL and FUEL to MEXICO in order to prevent drilling stoppages and layoffs?
These current high prices have NOTHING to do with sacramento, OBAMA or policy.
It was a SELF CREATED CALAMITY in order to increase profits, plain and simple. The petroleum spokesman stated they had a "GLUT" of oil in california and simply SOLD it.
That reduced supply and then they created thier own disaster and shut down the refineries creating a shortfall and raising prices afterwards. Since the announcement of a federal investigation, gas prices at the pump have dropped 16 cents in 9 days. Prices will continue to drop at a pace of 8 cents a week, 2 cents a day and at the end of the day at that.
There clearly needs to be MORE REGULATIONS on oil companies and refiners to control prices so customers are not RIPPED off in the future.
But, heck, why let reality stand in your way, continue to blame politicians, it fits the brainwashing.
peace
