California continues to devastate its economy for a net-zero dream world

California’s passion to achieve net-zero emissions at the expense of its citizens has devastated its economy.
California’s contribution to global emissions, as the 4th largest economy in the world, is a small percentage, roughly 0.75%. To put that into perspective, if the “big earthquake” hit California, and the entire state fell into the Pacific Ocean, there would be less than a 1% reduction in Worldwide emissions.
As reported by Californians for Energy Independence, California’s Economy is supported by Oil and Gas, so let’s look at the state’s demands for the products and transportation fuels that so-called renewables like wind and solar CANNOT make for society, as they can ONLY generate electricity under favorable weather conditions.
The West Coast gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels market is isolated from other supply and demand centers, as California is an energy island, separated from the States East of the Sierra Mountains. The Sierra Mountains are a natural barrier that prevents the state from pipeline access to any of the excess oil from fracking. As such, the West Coast is susceptible to unexpected outages of West Coast refineries, as it is unable to backfill an unexpected loss in supply by quickly supplying additional products from outside the region.
