California is Falling Into an Unrecoverable Deficit of Refineries (opens the original)
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
Unlocking America’s Nuclear Gold Mine: The Promise of Spent Fuel (opens the original)
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.

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)
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.
