Gov. Gavin Newsom Wants Mandate for Oil Companies to Create Stockpile of Gasoline
The petroleum industry has pushed back, saying the mandate would hurt consumers.

Legal Insurrection readers may recall my report about Chevron’s California operations.

Chevron had been headquartered in California for over 140 years, giving it strong roots in this state. However, the toxic policies of California’s lawmakers and regulators have killed those roots.

The fossil fuel giant will relocate to Texas.


Sacramento sees gasoline firms and petroleum refineries as cash cows that will always agree to be milked despite being made into a climate villain and accused of corporate greed.

So, to resolve the state’s serious energy challenges, California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for a special session Saturday after the Assembly rebuffed his efforts to pass an energy package before a critical deadline passed.

Newsom’s plan mandates that the state’s oil companies create gasoline stockpiles.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Here we have a life-long government employee with no private sector experience who does not understand that excess inventory is a form of waste.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

These are the same people who sold off 290 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve in order to win the 2022 midterm elections.  Also, gasoline is not stable.  It will deteriorate over time.

But if you think this is bad, wait until you hear their proposal to create stockpiles of electricity.  Huge battery farms costing tens of billions.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
