Gavin Newsom Wants California Oil Refineries to Stay Open After 'Demonizing' Industry
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has directed state officials to help oil refineries to stay open in the state despite years of "demonizing" the industry.
“Governor Newsom has built a career demonizing the U.S. oil and natural gas industry. Now he wants California refineries to stay open. Some ideas, Governor: Scrap your EV mandate, stop villainizing American energy workers, and end the costly refinery regulations YOU put in place,” Mike Sommers, the president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, wrote.
“Governor Newsom’s letter to the California Energy Commission directing it to ‘redouble’ its efforts to work closely with refiners so ‘they see the value in serving the California market’ is laughable and a blatant effort to cover his backside,” Chet Thompson, the CEO of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, remarked.
He added, “State policies, not the new administration in Washington, are why fuel manufacturers struggle to operate in California and why California drivers face the highest fuel prices in the country.”
