Kontrarian Korner #110 - Mike Ariza & Stan Ellis

Yesterday I had Mike Ariza back on the podcast, and we were joined by California Assemblyman Stan Ellis. We got an update on California’s coming oil crisis, and the problems that are fast approaching with no imports on the way. It might provide Trump with an opportunity to come in and fix things, but they believe it would be a temporary fix. If you want a breakdown of what is happening and what is on the horizon for California and other surrounding states as far as energy supply chains, you will enjoy this one. You can find Mike on Twitter, but he has also been contributing to Gas Crisis, where you can find his work and reach out to get in touch with Stan. Podcast Summary* How California could face serious problems with oil supply chains in the next couple months.* How CARB has reached the point of diminishing returns.* The problems that California faces with no more imports of crude and products on the way. * What all this means for the military and the bases in California, Nevada, and Arizona. * How the average legislator is disconnected from the reality of supply chains and the real world. * The potential solutions to the problem, and how quickly they could be implemented.* How Trump has an opportunity to come in and fix things, and why it might only be a temporary fix.
