Not everyone in California lives in LA or has LA’s problems.

> Not everyone in California lives in LA or has LA’s problems. That's why smog rules vary per county.

True, but the gas blend requirement is state wide which I think was the point being made.

In this case it is.

I don't know, can see this either way. Iran's leadership has been stating for decades that they want to destroy Israel. They've been funding militias who launch rockets at Israel, during times when Israel wasn't threatening Iran's existence in any way. They were launching rockets just before this war started. But US pulled out of nuclear deal and killed Iranian leaders during first Trump administration, and has been…

The israeli occupation has been killing, raping, and pillaging Palestinians for over 75 years. The greater israel project is on full display now.

I began assuming long ago that Trump is just manipulating markets. Like my finances are managed under that assumption.

He was the anti corruption and anti war President and look what we got instead.

When someone is known for spouting rubbish and constantly lying, then it doesn't make sense to be surprised when they don't adhere to their "promises".

The capitalists who own them shut them down.

But this guy is fixated on the fact that 17% of the refineries were closed in a state where gas sales fell 17%.

It’s remarkably appropriate in a article where we are talking about a shortage…

Is this an emissions reducing based blend?

Yep, it's a low sulfur, lower volatility gasoline blend ( https://thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/how-california-reg... ) which apparently cuts harmful exhaust emissions like carbon monoxide and NOx.

And no MTBE, IIRC

Nice of Donald Trump to force us into a choice between poisoning the air and financial hardship! But at least it was for a good reason: ???

Dogs and cats were being eaten, you see. And did you hear her laugh ?

Not sure why you're being down voted, I've sadly heard those exact arguments.

We could die chocking on the air that produces too. Understand the history in CA and the reasons we have special gas. Would you really want to hurt children for cheaper gas? Really? https://today.usc.edu/las-environmental-success-story-cleane...

Texas has plenty of refineries and the children there aren’t dying or choking on the air.

I'm certain the number of children suffering illness or even dying due to air pollution from Texas refineries is more than zero. Not very high, I imagine, but not zero. There is a very real human cost to these things which we really like to ignore.

> Would you really want to hurt children for cheaper gas? Really? Yes. Most voters would, too. "Cheaper gas" understates how serious even a $20/week increase in living costs can be for a household on the margin.

Love living in the country with the highest GDP per capita than hearing stuff like this.

Not sure what living in Monaco has to do with gas prices in California.

That’s insane. I just paid $800 for a much longer run, materials and labor.

Seattle has absurd labor costs. Just the needed permits are a couple hundred.

Be careful how you ask for it, too. A "NEMA 14-50 outlet" is likely to be quite a bit cheaper than "EV charger" and especially "Tesla charger."
