Why Gas Is So Expensive In California
Переглядів 209,794
День томуDrivers in California are no strangers to pain at the pump. The state is home to some of the highest gas prices in the United States. There are several factors that go into what drivers pay at the pump, including refining costs, distribution and marketing, taxes and crude oil prices. High taxes are partly to blame for the high price of gas in California. But, there’s more to the story. Here’s what’s driving gas prices higher and what drivers can do about it.

Why Gas Is So Expensive In California
@bradchin7746 Місяць тому
Now cnbc should do a story about how Newsom made electricity in CA so expensive that it isn’t worth driving an EV.
@vids595 Місяць тому
Not Newsom specifically, our entire legislature allowed PGE to raise rates. Also for anyone who already owned their car and dodn't have to make payments, switching to electric has always been far more expensive.
@pianobench6319 Місяць тому
Blame ourself for this. We shutdown our nuclear plants (clean, affordable, reliable) and pushed for more wind and solar. So we had to build more capacity and when the sun doesn't shine (night) or the wind doesn't blow, we fire up the gas plants.

The problem with your argument is, electricity is not priced, bought and sold the same way as oil is. Oil is a traded commodity where its price changes daily, electricity is not, electricity is a regulated utility to the end user and is not a finite resource at the same time. Nothing stops a utility from making more electricity as demand rises just as nothing stops you from sticking solar panels on your roof to charge your car with your own electricity. With EV's you can also do time shifting which is something that is not possible with ICE, so you charge at night time when grid demand is 1/3 to 1/2 what it is during the day, the price is cheaper at night. EV's can also send energy backwards to the grid when demand is high, we do this now with fixed battery storage, we can do it with EV's and it's again not possible with ICE.

@seanf5634 Місяць тому
I live in California and the only problem with this report is the lack of balance. Why not interview the oil companies that produce in California? It all comes down to supply and demand. CA has banned new oil drilling, banned new oil refineries, requires special winter and summer blends of gasoline, and has the highest gas taxes at the pump, plus "extraction taxes" when oil companies pump out of the ground for existing wells. CA also requires refineries to be far cleaner via emissions which requires billions of dollars in new equipment, hence refineries close down since its not cost effective to implement the changes. They also forgot to mention that gas was below $3 in California when Trump was president, so this price gouging argument that Newsom mentions didn't seem to work when Trump was President.

If CA is truely pushing for better environmental adoption they would fix the infrastructure. The US is built on driving so where the EU might have seen 10$ for petrol at the high side they drive 1/3 the amount and take public transit. We need functioning public transit that isnt just built toward " destinations area" full of homeless people. However , in order to do that CA needs to fix the road so they arnt congested with traffic..but to do that they need people to take public transit and get off the road.. see the problem? Southern Californian or really any major Metropolitan area is a traffic clogged artey one oily bite away from the heart attack. Also one thing, the push for EV is great Newsom..only one problem. How are the vast major of people going to charge if they even even afford a home? Let alone an apartment, maybe with a 110v? Also considering usage of vehicles the top earners dont drive all that much so the cost of gas is inelastic for them. But for the majority of people on the road they have to deal with the % reduction on their take home out the tailpipe.. not even factoring time lost by sitting in traffic

Not one word about E85. I pay between $1.00 and $2.00 per gallon less than regular gas here in California and the slightly less gas mileage is made up for by more power and a cleaner engine. I bought a converter box for my V8 around 11 years ago and have had no problems. Not one word of the big oil advertising is true, Especially the "food vs fuel" campaign. Corn is grown to feed cows and cows can't eat starch. Making ethanol just removes the starch and what is left over is fed to the cows - so the corn is just borrowed. In the country of Brazil, most cars run on ethanol. Any modern car can run on E30, this would cost less and make less pollution, but big oil sells us only E10.

Many stations have E85 and no wonder: it only cuts mpg by 18% so it's saving 30% vs premium. Most OEM's sell pickup trucks E85 compatible. Most cars have adaptor systems available. The street smart know it's easier to adapt their current car to E85 for $1000 than buy a whole new EV.

@ronaldheath453 Місяць тому
is helpful to remember Paul Woods. He spent his life perfecting an algae and a unique photobioreactor system that grows the algae in the presence of sunlight and carbon dioxide, producing ethanol as a by-product. In other words, you add the algae to sea water, bubble waste C02 through it and get alcohol with 2 gallons of fresh water for every 1 gallon of alcohol. He founded a company named Algenol in Fort Myers, Florida. He made a pilot plant that successfully began producing ethanol. He then set up a gas station near the plant. That is when the major stock holder (big oil) shut him down. The company now does not produce ethanol.
