Are Americans ready for Kamala Harris's California cost-hiking, business-killing policies?

She is incapable of having conversations as to how occasionally generated electricity from wind and solar will be able to address the coming increase in demand for electricity. The U.S. Department of Energy recently made a startling admission about the. U.S. electricity demand that is going to double by 2050, and meeting that soaring demand is going to require the equivalent of building 300 Hoover Dams.

Kamala remains ignorant to reality that it's becoming increasingly obvious that these supposed "green" alternative methods of generating electricity won't work – especially as demands for electricity are projected to double by 2050 due to AI, charging of EV's, data centers, government-mandated electric heating, and cooking, and charging grid-backup batteries.

In addition, those so-called renewables of wind and solar cannot produce thousands of essential products that require petrochemical feed stocks. In fact, all the parts and components of wind and solar are made from the same fossil fuels that Kamala Harris wants to rid the state of.

Fossil fuels

As one of the most vocal "GREEN" policymakers, she remains oblivious to humanity's addiction to the products and fuels from fossil fuels, as she is to these two basic facts:

She cannot comprehend that no one uses crude oil in its raw form. "Big Oil" only exists because of humanity's addiction to the products and fuels made from oil! "Renewables" only exist to generate occasional electricity, as they CANNOT make any products or fuels!

In the event Kamala wants to rid the world of crude oil usage, there is no need to support California's over-regulations or over-taxing of the oil industry, she just needs to promote California residents to STOP using the products and fuels made from crude oil!

California's regulatory and tax landscape has led to a steady drop in the number of California refineries. In the early 1980s, when California's population was 24 million, there were 40 operating refineries in the state, which refined over 2.5 million barrels of crude oil per day. Forty years later, with a population of 39 million, the number of refineries dropped by 14, which refines less than 2 million barrels of crude oil per day currently. The reality is that gasoline and diesel supply is decreasing while demand is increasing, is fuel (no pun intended) for continuous price increases.

Refineries are also shutting down because California has imposed a new regulation that bans the sale of gas-powered cars and light trucks by 2035, and the State requires 35 percent of new car sales to be zero-emission vehicles by 2026. It makes no economic sense to invest in new capacity in a state that has de facto outlawed the industry's existence in a few years.

In addition, refineries are also shutting down because there are incredibly lucrative state and federal tax incentives to produce biofuels, totaling a whopping $1 per gallon, and cease the manufacturing of gasoline and diesel. A Marathon refinery that had a crude oil refining capacity of 166,000 barrels per day is being retrofitted to produce biodiesel and is expected to be producing biofuel next year. Similarly, Global Clean Energy is converting a 66,000-barrel-per-day-capacity refinery in Bakersfield to biodiesel, and World Energy has invested $350 million to convert a 50,000-barrel-per-day-capacity refinery to biodiesel.

California regulators and legislators are getting what they want: less crude oil produced and consumed. And Californians, particularly low- and middle-income households, are paying a dear price for the preferences of those Tesla-driving legislators and regulators as fuel demand remains against a diminishing supply of gasoline and diesel.

She cannot comprehend that STOPPING the demands of society, for the products and fuels made from oil, will eliminate the need for crude oil !!!!!

Simplistically: STOP making cars, trucks, aircraft, boats, ships, farming equipment, medical equipment and supplies, communications equipment, military equipment, etc. that demand crude oil for their supply chain of products.
