WSPA President and CEO Catherine Reheis-Boyd issued the following in response to Governor Gavin Newsom’s bill signing today.
“What will be ‘historic’ about the package of bills signed by the Governor today will be the tremendous costs and impacts they will impose on California residents, our economy and our way of life. The Governor’s actions are meant to eliminate oil production and associated jobs in California, make us dependent on other countries for our fuels, dictate how and when we can travel and mandate the energy we use.
“We are here to work on better ways to meet our important climate goals without bans, mandates and forcing all Californians into one form of energy.”
