Washington, D.C. — According to a report in the New York Post, Gavin Newsom's California is shipping oil from the Bahamas using a regulatory loophole after years of aggressive green mandates helped shutter in-state refinery capacity. The report notes that more than 40 percent of the gasoline imported into California last November was routed through the Caribbean. This forces shipments to travel thousands of miles before being sold to consumers in a state that already suffers from the highest gasoline prices in the nation.
"Gavin Newsom's green crusade now requires shell games with oil tankers in the Bahamas because his mandates gutted in-state refining," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "Just days ago, Newsom was in Munich attacking President Trump and lecturing about leadership, while back home working families are paying more at the pump because of his failed policies. Sure, Newsom's energy agenda is responsible for the highest gas prices in the nation, but that's a price he is willing to make families pay."
