#1 "The oil company said that the closure, scheduled for the end of next year, was not a direct response to the new law, but it added to a lack of refining that has pushed up gas prices in the Golden State."
The Democrats have made it impossible to initiate new drilling, and have imposed sanctions on small drillers in the Kern County oil patch. Known finds located farther to the north remain untouched given the State impositions. Refining in the San Francisco Bay Area is now operating at only one site. The result will be an increase in the price of gas for Californians who already suffer the highest prices nationally.
