    California is Falling Into an Unrecoverable Deficit of Refineries (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The California economy runs on the supply chain of products and transportation fuels MADE FROM raw crude oil that is diminishing from refinery closures. Despite what out of state friends and families have said for years, California is not going to fall into the Pacific Ocean. But if its policymakers and legislators continue on a path of carbon isolation uber allies, it’s possible that California continues to alienate itself from the rest of the world, sinking economically as an energy island, is

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    By Ronald Stein, Steve Curtis and Olivia Vaughan from South Africa Private Enterprise Can Solve the Spent Nuclear Fuel Problem Beyond Government Grants The recent shift in the national conversation around nuclear generated electricity is encouraging. After decades of political hesitation, federal and state leaders are once again speaking positively about the role of nuclear power in delivering reliable, abundant electricity.

    Read excerpt

    California is Handing Control of Its Fuel Supply to Foreign Refineries (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The State supports the exodus of the in-state manufacturers of the fuels to foreign refineries, threatening national energy security and global stability. Because California’s transportation fuel market is isolated from the rest of the country with no major transportation fuel pipelines from out of state over the majestic Sierra Mountain range, supply imbalances quickly translate into high retail prices at the pump. There is a pipeline that goes from the San Francisco Bay area in Concord to Reno

    California is Running Out of Refineries – and Running Out of Time (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Allowing foreign-flagged tankers to move transportation fuel from the U.S. Gulf Coast to West Coast Ports is only a band aid for California’s humongous demands for transportation fuels. With no pipelines crossing the Sierra Nevada, California is an energy island, separated from the crude oil supplies and refinery infrastructure of the other continental states. As a result, the state’s transportation fuel needs—for airports, cars, trucks, and ships serving three of America’s busiest ports—must be
