Drafted Executive Orders Claw Back CA Energy to Insure US has Necessary Fuels For National Security

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

California's ongoing war on the oil and gas industry has led to a potential fuel crisis, prompting seven draft Executive Orders to be sent to President Donald J. Trump. These orders aim to ensure the United States has the necessary fuels from California for national security. USC Professor Michael Mische and his co-authors argue that California's Governor and Legislature have proven incapable or unwilling to address the self-created fuel crisis. The proposed Executive Orders include allowing offshore oil production, revoking the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, removing state and local control on oil reserves, and directing California refineries to increase jet and diesel fuel production. The authors believe the U.S., California, and global security would benefit from these measures. The key question is whether the federal government will step in to address California's fuel crisis and its impact on national security.
