I hope Gavin Newsome runs on the Democratic ticket for President in 2024.
His supposed successes will be made fun of in 2024.
Democrats from the people's Republic of Los Angeles and in Sacramento want to Virtue signal and cut oil production to zero in California yet California has the same high-sulfur oil that is available in Canada and in Venezuela.
Our stupid California government leadership could allow for increased production which would help the local economy and make the United States oil independent but this is not the case with most Democrats in the USA Today. There are places like Brea Canyon that are way far away from people unless you happen to drive by it on the 57 Freeway North on the way to Diamond Bar. You can still see oil Derricks going back the 1930s and they are still pumping oil.
You still see oil being pumped on Signal hill, you still see oil being pumped by those artificial Islands by the Queen Mary. You can see all the oil platforms that were built the 60s and early seventies up and down the coast of Southern California.
California was producing 12 million barrels a month 3 years ago and it's down to about 9.9 million barrels a month. A little over 300,000 barrels per day. The oil may be sour and you can't get that much gasoline out of it but it's still the same kind of oil that is available from Canada and Venezuela.
It's really sick that the United States oil production is being sabotaged on purpose. Look what's happening in California, look how President Biden wants to put methane restrictions or regulations in the Permian Basin of Texas thereby weakening the only bright spot in oil production that has made a difference and made us oil independent until President Biden took office.
It's really interesting that Democrats consider illegal aliens more American than Americans and consider oil from Venezuela to be more important than extracting oil from the USA.
I just shake my head in disbelief because President Biden killed the Keystone Pipeline on his first day of office as president severely restricting Canadian Oil to coming by rail which is more dangerous but yet now is allowing Chevron to extract oil from Venezuela.
Venezuela has no environmental stewardship. It doesn't have carbon capture like Canada does yet President Biden doesn't care about Canada but doesn't mind buying it from dictator president Maduro of Venezuela.
They have the worst environmental record ever but this is another example of democrat virtue signaling and hypocrisy because they are bringing oil from a country that is not Democratic and they have to ship high sulfur oil which is harder to produce and is higher in carbon dioxide and they have to ship it by super tanker which is insult to injury.
California and Democrats in Washington DC don't have a sense of America first. They don't have a sense of keeping the profits/royalties within the country or even within their own state and minimizing the deficit or the balance of trade because all it is is virtue signaling to the Church of the Green New Deal.

1.) Oil Dependence and U.S. Foreign Policy
“The United States’ dependence on oil has long influenced its foreign policy. U.S. oil development spans three major periods: the rise of oil as a commodity, beginning in 1850; the post–World War II age of geopolitical competition; and the post–Cold War era of deregulation and diversification. Most recently, Russia’s war with Ukraine has aggravated geopolitical tensions and revived the debate about U.S. energy independence.”

2.) 5 Reasons Why the United States Can’t Drill Its Way to Energy Independence
ARTICLE
MAR 10, 2022
The solution to high energy prices is a swift and urgent transition to clean energy—not further reliance on dirty fuels controlled by dictators and profiteering oil corporations.
“Despite the oil and gas industry’s vigorous and incorrect public relations campaigns aimed at convincing people that their opportunism to drill more is a legitimate policy solution, the United States is already the world’s largest producer of oil and gas.
Domestic oil production is at 90 percent of America’s all-time, pre-pandemic high, and the United States is producing more than twice as many barrels of oil per day as it produced in 2008.
But energy independence won’t be found at the bottom of a well. We can never be energy independent while we rely on a fuel source that is both controlled by the global market and highly susceptible to international conflict and manipulation by autocratic regimes.”
* The oil and gas industry already has plenty of land and ocean ready to be used
* 9000 Approved permits to drill that are unused by the U.S. oil and gas industry
* Industry CEOs are profiting hand over fist while average families suffer
* The oil industry is sitting on 10 years’ worth of unused leases
* New oil projects won’t bring down prices or increase supply in the short term
** 23 million
Acres of lands and waters leased to industry but not being used for oil production
** 4+ The number of years, on average, it takes to begin producing oil and gas after leasing
** $75 billion Record profits posted by Shell, Chevron, BP, and ExxonMobil in 2021

3.) Reducing America’s Dependence on Foreign Oil As a Strategy to Increase Economic Growth and Reduce Economic Vulnerability

“Summary: President Obama's focus on increasing America’s energy independence is not just a critical national security strategy, it is also part of an economic plan to create jobs, expand growth and cut the trade deficit.”
