Thank you for spotlighting the catastrophic California energy policies that Gavin Newsom has put in place. The three articles that you link to are particularly eye opening and concerning for both California and the Nation.

Long Beach Faces $301 Million Oil Revenue Loss Amid Push to End Fossil Fuel Dependency
May 30, 2025 LBLN 1579 Views
Long Beach, CA – A newly released economic review by Long Beach City Auditor Laura Doud has sounded the alarm over the financial toll the state’s transition away from crude oil and natural gas could take on the city potentially slashing oil-related revenue by up to $301 million by 2035. With no comprehensive replacement strategy in place, the report is raising difficult questions: How will the city fill this looming budget gap? And is California rushing to end oil production without a clear, sustainable financial alternative for local communities?
I am getting Tuco's Child, Substack, scheduled for an interview on the podcast to cover all of his material, and planning trips to DC. I hope that the Trips to DC pan out for interviews with leaders.
It is truly mind numbing how poorly thought out the Californian policies are. Equally mind numbing is the lack of media reporting the facts about the catastrophic policies. But afterall what would expect from Californian politicians but to californicate themselves. We need to make sure there is no bailout.

*The destruction of the Amazon Rainforests for California oil, and fuels and gasoline is also highly concerning per your link, and this past article.

Holly crap Batman! Thanks, I will go through these!!
Truly amazing the dangers these politicians and their policies have created. Thanks for exposing this.

You’re work is really important and appreciated.
It is disgusting the more I find out about this - and Nathan Hammer and Ronald Stein, both great friends of Energy News Beat, wrote a great article - California’s net-zero emissions plan is a ‘national security’ risk for America https://energynewsbeat.co/californias-net-zero-emissions-plan-is-a-national-security-risk-for-america/
