Driven by California Governor Gavin Newsom’s obliviousness to the reality that the so-called green energy transition is only an electricity transition, the State’s 40 million residents continue to bear the expense of his so-called transition from fossil fuels. [emphasis, links added]
Governor Newsom has no comprehension that wind turbines and solar panels can only generate electricity occasionally.
Wind and solar also cannot make any of the more than 6,000 products now made from crude oil, or fuels for all forms of transportation.
Californians continue to pay dearly for the cleanest air in the world, while most of the world gets electricity from thousands of coal power plants.
California’s extensive government regulations provide great ammunition for environmental consultants and lawyers to delay or stop the progress of any project indefinitely.
The Governor does not comprehend that wind turbines and solar panels are themselves 100% made from the products from oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil!
Further, electricity can’t exist without crude oil as all the parts and components of every electricity generation system (coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar) are also made from the oil derivatives manufactured from oil.
Special note about a new drama television series, Landman, that supports this energy literacy article:
All the parts and components of California Governor Newsom’s net zero emissions fantasy are 100% dependent on crude oil, the same oil that he wants to rid the world of.
As the Facebook trailer illustrates for the new “Landman” drama television series created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Newsom is oblivious to the fact that every product in our society that did not exist 200 years ago is made from oil.
Thus, before Newsom destroys the California economy further, he needs to identify the “replacement” for crude oil that will support the economy’s materialistic demands before he preaches net zero emissions.

In addition, everything that needs electricity to function, such as iPhones, computers, data centers, and X-ray machines, is made with petrochemicals manufactured from crude oil.
Without fossil fuels, there would be nothing that needs electricity!
In pursuit of his misguided transition to electricity, the beginning of “Trump-proofing” California began days after the November election, when the California Air Resources Board (CARB) — a regulatory commission almost entirely appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom — passed new updates to the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), requiring producers of “dirty” transportation fuel to purchase more credits from producers of “clean” transportation fuel.
The 40 million-person California population represents a minuscule 0.4 percent of the eight billion people on this planet.
The new LCFS will provide an estimated $105 billion in EV charging credits and $8 billion of hydrogen credits, largely paid for by fees on gasoline and diesel, which the state would pass on to drivers and consumers.
The 40 million people in California represent a minuscule 0.4 percent of the eight billion people on this planet. The other 99.6 percent of the world’s population lives outside the state’s borders.
Under Governor Newsom’s so-called “leadership,” California gas prices could rise another $1.15 per gallon next year thanks to the state’s new carbon credit system, taxes, refinery regulations, and the Phillips 66 refinery shutdown in 2025.
1. The state’s newly passed carbon credit requirement may increase retail prices for regular-grade gasoline in 2025 somewhere between 40 and 65 cents per gallon.
2. The governor’s new refinery regulations, which he passed during a special legislative session last month, would increase prices by between 5 and 27 cents per gallon.
3. The shutdown of the Phillips 66 refinery was announced after the new refinery regulations would add another 8 to 14 cents per gallon.
4. Because California gas taxes rise with the state’s price index, the gas tax will go up between one to two cents per gallon in 2025.
These fuel cost increases contribute to inflation and California’s high cost of living, having a disproportionate and adverse impact on lower-income Californians.
Governor Newsom is personally exempt from those fuel cost increases as he is chauffeured to and from his Sacramento office in a State-owned gasoline vehicle.
Most in wealthy California are oblivious that about 80 percent of the world’s eight billion, many of which are in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, still live on less than $10 a day – and these billions still have little to no access to electricity.
For others, life is severely complicated and compromised by the hypocritical “green” agendas of wealthy country elites who have benefited so tremendously from fossil fuels since the modern industrial era began in the 1800s.
