excuse me, california is one of the few states holding onto a huge government surplus. Gas is higher here than anywhere else, you got that right.
why is the price higher in california you should ask.
A key factor is that the state is a fuel island, or a location that does not receive any fuel through interstate pipelines, according to Kevin Slagle, vice president of strategic communications at the Western States Petroleum Association. The state’s fuel supplies are either produced in-state or transported there by ship or truck, costlier methods that are passed on to consumers.
In-state production covers about 30 percent of the state’s fuel needs “The other 70 percent or so is imported from around the world, some from Alaska, but really mostly from the Middle East, Ecuador, countries like that,” he said. “So we have a situation where our … supply is limited by what we can produce in-state [and] we’ve had production drop quite a bit over the last five or six years.”
Slagle added that the state also currently has a major production permitting backlog, leading to what he said was the “worst-case” scenario under the state’s regulatory environment.
It's always been that way here in California, said a consumer who has lived in the state for well over thirty years,
one who goes by the name, ME, yes me, "I can tell you in all confidence it has always been that way since I first moved here in 1984."
said me.
And that's a fact.
And, I should add, the people in California are focused on a green alternative to fossil fuels for all humankind. Very much opposite to Republicans currently in the US congress, we grasp fully the existential threat of humankinds reliance of fossil fuel and the cause of climate change.
Someday you'll say thank you.
And we'll say, your welcome - you crazy nut cakes!
