California drivers are feeling the squeeze as gas prices surge nearly 40 cents in just two weeks, driven by major refinery closures that are tightening the state’s already limited fuel supply. With the statewide average now hovering around $4.58 per gallon, Californians are paying far more than the national average of about $2.92. The wind‑down of Valero’s Benicia refinery and the closure of Phillips 66’s Los Angeles facility have left the state with only six operating refineries, amplifying volatility and pushing prices sharply upward. Also, Karoline Leavitt talks gas prices during the White House press briefing.

California just closed a functioning World War II-era refinery that nobody on planet Earth wanted to buy, and gas prices are already spiking 3.2% in one week. Welcome to the green energy dream where virtue signaling costs you $8.43 per gallon by summer. The Valero Benicia refinery—processing 8% of California's refining capacity—shut down in January, months ahead of schedule, because operating in California's regulatory nightmare became impossible. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom's response reads like it was written by a 10-year-old screaming "look at me!" while claiming California is "doing the actual work." With two major refineries now gone (22% of production capacity), Californians are staring down a massive gas tax disguised as policy. Professor Michael Mache at USC predicts $8.43 gas this summer, and we're watching it unfold in real-time. When you don't have alternative energy sources but push out big oil anyway, your constituents pay the price at the pump. Is anyone surprised that eliminating domestic production leads to skyrocketing costs? How's that "all of the above energy future" working out? Subscribe for ongoing coverage as California's energy policy disaster continues to unfold.

John Hardie Hardie reports that Ukraine's deep strike campaign against Russian territory intensified in mid-2025, focusing primarily on energy infrastructure like oil refineries. Despite a "very bitter winter" leaving Kyiv without heat, there is talk of potentially reviving a failed energy truce from earlier in Trump's second term. Hardie suggests this could serve as a confidence-building measure toward de-escalation and a broader deal.1859 ODESSA
Valero just axed 237 good-paying jobs in California, and you can thank Gavin Newsom's war on affordable energy for that. The refinery is idling now, permanent closure coming soon, and Governor Newsom is out here spinning it like he's actually protecting consumers while gas prices climb to the highest in the nation. Meanwhile, the rest of America is paying under $2 a gallon while Californians—and Washington state residents—are stuck at $4.59 and climbing. Newsom claims California is "doing the actual work" and "collaborating with industry," but Valero literally said "we're done" and fired 237 out of 348 employees. Chevron left after 140 years, Phillips 66 is shutting down Wilmington, and now this. California is losing 22% of its domestic refining capacity, yet the governor's office insists this green energy virtue signaling is making the state more secure. What could possibly go wrong when you eliminate refineries while demand stays constant? How high will gas prices climb before Californians wake up? Ready to watch this progressive policy failure unfold in real time? Hit subscribe and let's track this disaster together.

California's doing it again—virtue signaling their way into an energy disaster. Valero's Benicia refinery is shutting down, and instead of producing fuel locally, they'll be importing from South Korea, Singapore, and India. Because that makes total sense, right? Governor Newsom is celebrating this as a "win" while California prepares to import 45% of its gasoline and lose 22% of its refining capacity. The state's obsession with unrealistic climate goals has pushed refineries out, and now taxpayers will foot the bill with skyrocketing gas prices—potentially $8-12 per gallon. Meanwhile, the rest of the country enjoys gas in the twos while Californians pat themselves on the back for being "virtuous." They've got plenty of oil right there, but regulations made it impossible to operate profitably. What did they expect would happen? How high will gas prices go before reality sets in? Let me know in the comments, and don't forget to subscribe for more coverage of policies that defy basic economics!

Silver Update: US Commits To $7.4 Billion Metal Refinery The gold and silver prices are soaring again to start the first full week of 2026, and in the midst of the rally, Donald Trump and the U.S. just committed $7.4 billion to build a critical minerals refinery in Tennessee. It's the latest indication that the government realizes that it has work to do in securing our metals infrastructure, especially here in the U.S., where there are only two LBMA-approved refineries that process silver, and one of them is currently not taking any new silver.
