The United States produces more crude oil than any other country? The EIA also reported that the United States produced more crude oil than any other nation in the six years 2018-2023. Last year’s numbers are still being crunched, but the trend will likely continue. Crude oil production in the United States averaged 12.9 million barrels per day in 2023, breaking the previous U.S. and global record of 12.3 million in 2019. The EIA says the 2023 oil production record is unlikely to be broken by another country anytime soon.

Another of Newscum’s empty campaign promises…. he vowed to bring Cali’s gas prices in line with the rest of the nation instead of padding big oil’s bank accounts …. and still he kept his office and defeated a recall…. unbelievable
We voted for gas taxes to support repairs on our infrastructure. These taxes for which we voted raise the price of our gas. It’s a “users” tax, just like bridge tolls. You don’t pay the gas price unless you use the gas. I never paid for automobile gas when I lived in New York or San Francisco because I could use public transportation. And note: places that don’t fund road and bridge repair must wait longer for “fixes.”
There lies the problem-naive California voters vote for tax increases to maintain
infrastructure, but it just goes into the general fund. Probably will go for the Gov’s
choo choo train. Remember the state is essentially broke.
Use gasbuddy.com to check for prices. I don’t pay that much in Concord.

Those KWH prices needed a fact check. . With the exception of Hawaii, California has the highest rates by far.
