Californians for Energy Independence

From all of us at CEI, we hope you have a wonderful Independence Day full of fun in the sun!

California's reckless state policies are the main driver behind the closure of two major fuel refineries, eliminating nearly 18% of our in‑state fuel supply. When there's less fuel to go around, California's working families pay the price.

California is expected to lose 2 major fuel refineries by 2026 - resulting in less in-state fuel supply and California drivers could feel the impact with even higher prices at the pump.

California energy policies are pushing our fuel refineries out of business. That could mean less gas, rising fuel costs, and increased reliance on costly foreign oil to meet our needs. Working families can’t afford higher energy prices.

Californians can't afford higher gas prices, and soon they could skyrocket even higher. State policies are the main driver for two major refineries shutting down, making it harder for refineries to produce the oil we rely on. Less gas may mean higher prices at the pump.

Reckless CA energy policies make it harder for in-state refineries to produce the fuel we rely on. Now, two major refineries are shutting down, eliminating nearly 18% of our state’s fuel supply - less gas may mean higher prices for Californians.

California energy policies are driving up our sky-high gas prices, and soon they could get even higher. Experts across our state agree, reckless CA policies that decrease our energy supply are costing working families more.

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their courage will never be forgotten.

Happy Earth Day from Californians for Energy Independence!

With no crude oil pipelines and limited rail transport, California is an energy island, forced to rely mostly on volatile foreign countries for the energy we don’t produce here at home. The result? Higher gas prices & an unstable energy supply for Californians.

California is an energy island. That means shutting down in-state energy production without adequate alternatives increases our dependence on volatile foreign countries for the oil we still need, leading to more tankers, higher gas prices, and less control over our energy supply.

CA has no pipelines to bring in crude oil from other states. That means policies to shut down local oil production force CA to rely mostly on foreign oil, imported by tanker. The result is less control over our energy supply - and could lead to even higher prices at the pump.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Thank you to all of the female scientists around the world for your contributions to science, technology and innovation.

Californians are struggling, and CA's energy policies are making matters worse. From policies that force us to rely on expensive foreign oil, to mandates that could add an additional 47 cents per gallon of gas, CA energy policies are driving up costs and hurting working families.

Across California, working families are struggling, and our state’s energy policies are making matters worse. A new fuel mandate could add an additional 47 cents per gallon of gas. California’s drastic and costly energy policies are leaving working families behind.

Cheers to 2025! Wishing you a bright and happy New Year.

Wishing you warmth and joy this holiday season. Happy holidays!
