Environmentalists Make Los Angeles Gas Twice as Expensive

California's Governor Moonbeam announced that Global Warmunism "almost has to be at the level of a crusade.”
Things are good in Governor Moonbeam's California, at least for anyone riding an imaginary $75 billion light rail.
Not so much for those driving cars.
While gas prices nationwide are on a downward trend, California is experiencing a spike that could see prices top $4 a gallon before easing again, according to analysts.
A shortage in oil and other components used in refining California's unique blend of less-polluting gas was one of the reasons for the price jump, industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday.
Crusades are expensive. Especially stupid crusades motivated by fake crises and crony capitalism.
The highest average price in the nation was $3.66 a gallon in Los Angeles as of Friday — a jump of 9 cents, according to Lundberg's bi-weekly survey. But prices rose another 13 cents in a special survey conducted Saturday, she said.
This resulted in wildly different prices even in the same areas. Two competing gas stations in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, which normally charge about the same price, were 58 cents apart on Saturday afternoon, according to City News Service. A gallon cost $3.72 at one station, and $4.30 at the other.
Nationwide, the average price of gasoline dropped 2 cents over the past two weeks to $2.83 a gallon. The average national price for midgrade gas was $3.05, with premium going for $3.22, according to the Lundberg survey.
The cheapest price recorded in the continental United States was $2.42 a gallon in Jackson, Mississippi.

It's a small price for living inside Governor Moonbeam's space shuttle.
Gov. Jerry Brown says “a more elegant” way of living, along with technology and the will to adapt, will preserve the California dream for generations to come despite the current crisis resulting from the drought.
“The metaphor is spaceship Earth,” Brown said. “In a spaceship you reuse everything. Well, we’re in space and we have to find a way to reuse, and with enough science and enough funding we’ll get it done.”
We just need more dreams. And music. And lots of acid.
"My own belief is that California has a unique place on the planet. It's been a place of dreams. We can pursue a path of benign energy."
"I'm trying to protect the earth and explore the universe," Brown answered. "They're future ideas. People in music often sense the future before others. The poetry of an age often prefigures the coming decade."
