Attempting to be relevant, Gavin Newsom has CA Air Board promote climate crisis
The California Air Resources Board voted Friday to approve new gas regulations which will result in as much as a .65 cent per gallon increase in California’s gas prices.
The California Governor, Legislature and State Air Resources Board are working hand in glove to restrict the availability of oil and gas and increase the cost of gas at the pump so severely, middle class and working class drivers will be making choices between groceries and fuel for the car.
Remember that Gov. Newsom recently claimed Californians would save money at the pump with the CARB vote.
The vote made significant updates to the low carbon fuel standard (LCFS), which requires the state to reduce the environmental impact of gas and other transportation fuels by incentivizing producers to cut emissions.
The Globe reported on this in October, and said this is how California Governor Gavin Newsom is going to jump back onto the national stage. Because once his role as Joe Biden’s surrogate presidential candidate was shattered as Democrats replaced him with Kamala Harris, how could Newsom remain present in order to facilitate a run for President in 4 years?
