California Oil Wells & Refinery Stability: New Bills Pass Amid Climate Debate

by Emma Walker – News Editor
written by Emma Walker – News Editor

California Lawmakers Approve Package Balancing Oil Production wiht Climate Goals

California lawmakers recently passed a series of measures addressing the state’s energy future, including provisions to expand oil production alongside extensions of key climate initiatives. The legislation comes as the state faces refinery closures and declining crude oil output.

A key component of the package, approved Saturday, grants statutory approval for up to 2,000 new oil wells annually in Kern County – which currently produces approximately three-fourths of California’s crude oil – through 2036. This aims to circumvent a decade of legal challenges from environmental groups attempting to halt drilling in the region. Assemblymember Lori D. Wilson (D-suisun City), co-author of SB 237, highlighted the potential economic benefits, stating the closure of valero’s Benicia refinery is projected to result in $1.6 billion in lost wages and negatively impact local government budgets. she believes increased domestic oil production will “stabilize the market” and “create and save jobs.”

However, the move has drawn criticism from environmental advocates and some progressive Democrats. Assemblymember Alex Lee (D-San José), chair of the Legislative Progressive Caucus, labeled the bill a “regulatory giveaway to Big Oil,” arguing it won’t meaningfully address gas prices or the struggles of refineries facing declining oil demand. Data indicates California’s crude oil production is decreasing at an annualized rate of 15%, outpacing even the state’s most pessimistic forecasts for gasoline demand reduction.

The package isn’t solely focused on fossil fuels. It also includes a 15-year extension, through 2045, of California’s “cap and invest” program (formerly cap-and-trade). This program sets limits on greenhouse gas emissions, allowing companies to trade emission allowances, and generates revenue for climate initiatives like high-speed rail and safe drinking water projects. The program is considered vital for California to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.

Further,the legislation addresses energy infrastructure. AB 825 seeks to enable California’s participation in a regional electricity market, potentially allowing the state to buy and sell clean power with othre Western states to improve grid reliability and lower costs. Concerns have been raised by opponents who fear a loss of control over the state’s power grid.

the package includes a provision allowing the governor to temporarily suspend the state’s summer-blend gasoline fuel standards – which reduce emissions but increase fuel costs – if prices remain elevated for over 30 days or are projected to rise.

State Senator Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) emphasized Kern County’s energy production capabilities, noting it currently produces 80% of California’s oil, 70% of its wind and solar power, and over 80% of in-state battery storage capacity.

Bruins Struggle early, Find Rhythm in Second Half

The Bruins found themselves trailing for much of the game, struggling to establish a consistent offensive rhythm in the first half.However, UCLA​ began to find its footing in the third quarter, mounting several promising drives.

One drive culminated in a​ 35-yard field goal from Mateen Bhaghani with three seconds remaining⁢ in the third quarter,bringing the score to 23-13. The field goal attempt came after a costly pass-interference penalty against UNLV in the endzone prevented ⁣a potential touchdown.

Penalties‌ and Missed​ Calls hamper UCLA’s Efforts

UCLA’s ⁢offensive progress was repeatedly hampered⁤ by penalties. A touchdown pass to Kwazi Gilmer was⁢ nullified by an offensive pass interference call⁤ on⁢ Gilmer, pushing the Bruins back to the 17-yard line.

On ⁣a crucial third-down attempt, quarterback‍ Nico Iamaleava was attempting to find an open receiver ⁤when a potential roughing the⁢ passer penalty against UNLV defensive lineman‍ Lucas Conti was ⁤missed by the ‌officiating crew.

Gilmer showcased his athleticism during the comeback attempt, making a spectacular juggling catch for 12⁣ yards – UCLA’s first ​third-down conversion in 10 attempts.

Mikey matthews was⁢ a key ​target, securing a 15-yard pass, ‌and benefiting from a 15-yard​ penalty⁣ assessed against UNLV’s Justin Flowe for targeting, resulting in Flowe’s disqualification from⁣ the ⁣game.

Bruins Defense Finds Success

UCLA’s defense managed to force a three-and-out against the UNLV offense,⁢ resulting in the Rebels’ first punt of ⁢the game.This defensive stand provided a spark for the‍ Bruins’ offense, but ultimately wasn’t enough to swing the momentum fully.

College Football Trends and Context

UNLV’s victory underscores the growing ⁣talent pool and coaching quality across the nation.The⁢ impact of penalties and officiating on game outcomes remains a consistent talking point in the sport, as evidenced ⁤by the controversial missed call in ⁤this⁢ contest.
