They will be the payors; and will not be the payees due to the vast expansion of underfunded benefits enacted today. Sober reality check when one party continues to "buy" votes, by committing our tax dollars today.
I look forward to the day Party A stops saying out loud, or by stealth, that Party B is stealing your SS and Medicare, every election year. That will lower the partisan heat considerably.
How dare they inject reason to a completely prejudiced position by the State?
They want to put wind farms in the ocean and interfere with whales and other migrants of the ocean.
They want to build solar and then watch massive hail storms destroy over 90% of it and just recently the Indian nation reported the worlds largest ocean based solar was destroyed.
Hydrocarbon use is matured, continuing to be expanded, yet to increase the cost means more not less inflation, and the restricted use by the middle class.
You see agitators who do not care about energy independence that protects both the state and nation.
But then again Mr. Ring how dare you inject rational discussion to the "tune in, turn on, and drop out" and their propagandized kids.
I read this very good article by Edward Ring Titled "The Case for Oil Drilling in California"
I will comment, since I first pursued a career in the Oil Industry with experience in
Drilling into just about everything. I would re-title this article as "CA Myopic Wizard
of OZ Green-Brick-Road." As everyone knows in CA .... Drill is a four letter word in CA
and also to the "Woke-Spoke" DEI and Green New Deal Munchkins of California and
SB County are "Figthin Words". God help us from those uninformed Munchkins as Mr Ring
has so-clearly-pointed-out and I quote "California’s in-state production of oil peaked in 1986 at 402 million barrels, which at the time fulfilled 60 percent of the state’s annual consumption of 676 million barrels." AND "This isn’t happening because California is running out of oil. Commercially recoverable and proven reserves are currently estimated at 2.3 billion barrels, but this is only a fraction of the total estimated reserves in the state."
I will be the first to swear and say "Drill Baby Drill"
Many American believe their vote counts and so they go diligently to the polls every few years hoping to change their country's destiny. Few have now realized that we were "disenfranchised" a long time ago.
Anybody who believes that CA's current politicians were voted in are still operating under an illusion of fair play and citizen's rights. It is closer to the reality of dynastic rule and feudalism.
Follow the money! Californian pay money at the gas pump that goes to the companies supplying the gas, then to the companies (frequently U.S.) who are pumping the oil in another country, who then pay some of it to the governments of those countries which frequently are OPEC (that includes Russia, Venezuela and multiple Mid East countries not friendly to the U.S.) to spend buying property and businesses in the U.S. A very public example is the LIV golf tour out bidding the PGA for the leading golfers.
Excellent article. We truly need to re-ignite our resource and mineral rich state to become energy independent and at the same time set a cutting edge example for the rest of the planet.
Ahh...common sense...a wonderful way to start off a new week 😊 But alas, until we vote in others that have and use common sense, this spiral into darkness will continue. Scriptures warn us that "...when a man digs a pit, he will fall into it..." California is ready to fall it one of it's own making. Thanks for the well researched and presented article. Blessings
Noisy opposition by the self-deluded few, has been amazingly effective in this state, county and city on any number of topics. What keeps us from roaring back? Edward Ring has been carrying water for us for decades - always sound research and writing. Good to see his contributions here.
I remember when Ronald Reagan took over from Jimmy Carter. Reagan started kicking ass and taking names from day one and Trump is going to do the same. FJoe has screwed thing up so badly I believe Trump will take both houses, and when he does . . .’Drill Baby Drill’!
Here is what I remember. We conquered flawed operational mechanics after the hoary Santa Barbara oil spill decades ago in the last century. Engineering preventive measures is worthy of celebration; not cutting off 100% of the production of this vital resource.
I will continue to demand zero tolerance when it comes to election processes; but not for vital energy production. We celebrate decades of safe oil production, and critical advances also in containment and clean up. Which includes the two swimming pool size leak from the oil pipeline on the Gaviota coast a few years back.
Oil is a natural substance whether in the ground or occasionally on top of the ground. Somehow we tolerate constant natural seeps in the petroleum rich area, and will continue to do so.
What matters most to younger voters?
1. Continuing to believe the Climate Change™ hoax, threatening mass extinction at some vague time.
2. Trillions of dollars of public debt rung up in their names, creating their own fiscal mass extinction within their own lifetimes.
Climate Change. Mass extinction. Look!! A squirrel!!! Why are they doing this to you?
The trillions of dollars is being rung up for SS and medicare are in their grandparents names.
They will be the payors; and will not be the payees due to the vast expansion of underfunded benefits enacted today. Sober reality check when one party continues to "buy" votes, by committing our tax dollars today.
I believe that "buy" is a two party problem - not just one.
I look forward to the day Party A stops saying out loud, or by stealth, that Party B is stealing your SS and Medicare, every election year. That will lower the partisan heat considerably.
What the California Policy Center???

Well, in 10 or 20 years you going to change your handle to ElectricCarsAreBasic?
Kind Sir, you will notice CAB does not state gasoline cars, pedal cars, or electric cars.
You are welcome to attend a CAB meeting. You can then find out what our comprehensive view of transportation is.
The way things are going.... I kind of ment it tongue and cheek.
