(DCNF)—Amid increased gas prices nationwide since the U.S. attacked Iran, Newsom is weighing a bill that could drive out the few remaining refineries in California.
The California Air Resources Board proposed sweeping amendments expanding the state’s Cap-and-Invest program. Under Cap-and-Invest, refineries have set emissions limits and must buy allowances from the state to exceed said limits. If signed into law, the amendments would revoke 118 million metric tons in emissions allowances.
In response, Chevron and others operating the state’s few remaining refineries are threatening to close down if Newsom signs new energy regulations into law. California gas is the most expensive in the nation, routinely running $1-2 per gallon over the national average due to taxes and regulations.
Governor Newsom’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“The proposed regulation will cripple the survivability of the state’s remaining refineries, which will result in California losing the entire industry to this misguided program,” Chevron wrote Monday in a letter to the governor. When an X user pointed out that comparable regulations were driving up gasoline prices in California, Newsom’s press account called them a “ding dong” and attributed high costs to “Trump’s war with Iran.”
“California refineries are already among the most expensive refineries to operate in the world,” Marathon Petroleum Corporation noted in their letter to Newsom. Marathon noted the proposed regulations are “forcing refineries to reconsider whether operations in California remain viable.”
Valero, a major oil refinery, recently recorded a $1 billion write-down in order to shut down its Balencia Refinery in the state.
In response to rising gas prices, Gavin Newsom tweeted “Great work, @realDonaldTrump.”

Preparing for the Unexpected: Your Essential Partner in Health Readiness

Whether you’re stocking up for home emergencies or preparing for remote adventures, the Jase Case provides peace of mind with medications that boast extended shelf lives—up to five years or longer when stored properly, with studies showing 90% potency retention even after 20 years.
For those on the move, the Jase Go travel med kit at $129.95 is a game-changer. Curated by physicians, it addresses over 30 common travel ailments, from digestive upsets to minor injuries, ensuring explorers, hikers, and globetrotters can handle health hiccups without derailing their plans.

But Jase Medical isn’t just about one-off kits; their Jase Daily service provides an extended supply of your ongoing prescriptions, supporting hundreds of medications for chronic conditions like diabetes, heart health, high blood pressure, mental health, and more. This ensures long-term preparedness, safeguarding against factory shutdowns or extreme weather that could interrupt your regular supply.
The process couldn’t be simpler or more reassuring. Start by customizing your order online, then benefit from a thorough review by a team of world-class physicians who ensure safety and accuracy.
