California is now importing gasoline on a 4,000+ mile detour through the Bahamas before it reaches Los Angeles. Let that sink in. Because of Sacramento’s self-inflicted refinery closures, refusal to expand in-state capacity, hostility to interstate pipelines, and rigid regulatory regime, fuel that could move efficiently within California is instead being routed to a foreign port, transferred to a foreign-flagged vessel, and then shipped all the way around Mexico to California. More than 40% of imported gasoline in November came via the Bahamas. This is not climate policy. It’s carbon cosplay. We are: 🚢 Adding thousands of unnecessary shipping miles (and emissions) 💸 Layering transportation costs onto already record-high pump prices 🏭 Driving domestic refining capacity out of the state 📉 Weakening energy reliability in the world’s 5th largest economy And for what? To claim moral high ground while exporting jobs, outsourcing emissions, and increasing dependence on fragile global supply chains? California consumers pay more. California workers lose jobs. Global emissions don’t fall. This isn’t “energy transition.” It’s engineered scarcity — a deliberate degrowth strategy that punishes families and small businesses while destabilizing the grid and hollowing out the industrial base. Affordable, reliable, locally produced energy is not partisan. It’s foundational. Sacramento’s backwards energy policies are not saving the planet — they’re driving California into economic decline while shipping our fuel on a fossil-fueled world tour. The Golden State deserves better. Unleash California!

@RoKhanna Most net worth is tied to a business, a person with a high net worth leaving CA is taking their business as well. When will Democrats get that these sorts of policies in the end only hurt their constituents. It's almost as if they want to perpetuate this to pander for votes 🤔

@SullyCNBC They did figure out ways too...2014 voters approved money to be allocated to water storage still in progress, The Sites Reservoir to be completed in 2032... There is no will in Sacramento and they would rather launder the money through the general fund.

@Teslarati Another cool feature would be to have the option to have the volume automatically lower if it detects two people talking.

@chamath This is a problem that goes back to the great recession...08-09. The business community has been trying to reform this for 12+ years legislatively to no avail...

@EricLDaugh Doesn't this clown have 3 DUI's...a DUI is a requirement to be a CA Assembly Democrat but I didn't know it was a requirement in the Indiana Senate too.
