Further, electricity CANNOT exist without crude oil as all the parts and components of every electricity generation system (coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar) are also made from the oil derivatives manufactured from oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the parts and components of California Governor Newsom\u2019s net zero emissions fantasy is 100% dependent on crude oil, the same oil that he wants to rid the world of.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a Facebook trailer illustrates for the new\u202f\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/1620339808894808?fs=e&amp;mibextid=0NULKw&amp;fs=e&amp;s=TIeQ9V\">Landman<\/a>\u201d\u202fdrama television series, created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, Newsom is oblivious to the fact that every product in our society, that did not exist 200 years ago, is made from oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u202fThus, before Newsom totally destroys the California economy, Newsom needs to identify the \u201creplacement\u201d to crude oil that will support the materialistic demands of the economy, before he preaches net zero emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, everything that needs electricity to function like iPhones, computers, data centers, and X-Ray machines are all made with petrochemicals manufactured from crude oil. Without fossil fuels, there would be nothing that needs electricity!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In pursuit of his miss guided transition to electricity, the beginning of \u201cTrump proofing\u201d California began days after the November election, when the California Air Resources Board (CARB) \u2014 a regulatory commission almost entirely appointed by the governor Gavin Newsom \u2014\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/california\/article_3db607c0-9e00-11ef-87ff-27f64fe9659e.html\">passed<\/a>\u202fnew updates to the state\u2019s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), requiring producers of \u201cdirty\u201d transportation fuel to purchase more credits from producers of \u201cclean\u201d transportation fuel. The new LCFS will provide an estimated $105 billion in EV charging credits and $8 billion of hydrogen credits largely paid for by fees on gasoline and diesel, which the state would pass on to drivers and consumers.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The California population of 40 million represents a miniscule 0.4 percent of the 8 billion on this planet.\u202f The other 99.6 percent of the world\u2019s population live outside the borders of the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Governor Newsom\u2019s so-called \u201cleadership\u201d, California gas prices could rise another $1.15 per gallon next year thanks to the state\u2019s new carbon credit system, taxes, refinery regulations, and the Phillips 66 refinery shutdown in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The state\u2019s newly passed carbon credit requirement may increase retail prices for regular grade gasoline in 2025 somewhere between 40 and 65 cents per gallon.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The governor\u2019s new refinery regulations he passed during a special legislative session last month would increase prices between 5 and 27 cents per gallon.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The shutdown of the Phillips 66 refinery announced after the new refinery regulations would add another 8 to 14 cents per gallon.\u202f\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because California gas taxes rise with the state\u2019s price index, the gas tax will go up between one to two cents per gallon in 2025.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These fuel cost increases contribute to inflation and the high cost of living in California and have a disproportionate and adverse impact on lower income Californians.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Governor Newsom is personally exempt from those fuel cost increases as he is chauffeured to and from his Sacramento office in a State-owned gasoline vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most in wealthy California are oblivious that about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalissues.org\/article\/26\/poverty-facts-and-stats\">80 percent of the world\u2019s 8 billion<\/a>,&nbsp;many of which are in Africa, Asia and Latin America still&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalissues.org\/article\/26\/poverty-facts-and-stats\">live on less\u202fthan $10 a day<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 and the billions who still have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/judeclemente\/2020\/06\/14\/the-biggest-energy-problem-in-the-world\/\">little to no access to electricity<\/a>.&nbsp;For others, life is severely complicated and compromised by the hypocritical \u201cgreen\u201d agendas of wealthy country elites who have benefited so tremendously from fossil fuels since the modern industrial era began in the 1800\u2019s.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;In the book&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001b2Z2EweXm19Rd4pF2_NvHdaeN_s1xTBMujmVMThi7K70yFL7S_78jo07MyC56toVnQuCTeDnxD82W4DBfDMBIMR6vNaIg2Nerkewr4gpT2ozBa44CGAJp_VMlMVWbkgbY52YEWz0nmpVKbA69Pwj1Cyyghn6jr-4iQIt8z06tPDM1MdKKK54kqQSD7BllxC0EIx2mU3yehM=&amp;c=jeLoZFtCwxDC5Fhn4ikGvlNQOZhs4-Gw4aQZQJHY-RTP2FipBw7PAw==&amp;ch=t4kN0U__Tb1KlRoc6zmgeUXoaPlHTe91JWmk9dwzO3NmtzfQXK10yA==\">\u201cClean Energy Exploitations\u201d \u2013 Helping Citizens Understand the Environmental and Humanity Abuses That Support Clean Energy<\/a>&nbsp;the book discusses the lack of transparency to the world of the green movement\u2019s impact upon humanity exploitations in the developing countries that are mining for the exotic minerals and metals required to create the batteries needed to store \u201cgreen energy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In those developing countries, the mining operations disproportionately impact low-income communities and exploit child labor and are responsible for the most egregious human rights\u2019 violations of vulnerable minority populations.

how America\u2019s Green Energy Needs Minerals, Yet America Blocks New Mines on American soil.&nbsp; While the wealthier countries are shelling out billions of dollars for so-called clean ELECTRICITY from wind and solar, those developed nations are financially encouraging China and Africa to continue exploiting \u201ctheir\u201d poor with yellow, brown, and black skin, and financially supporting
