When discussing the future of the oil and gas industry beyond 2024, it is important to consider the unscientific use of the propaganda term "pollutant" when referring to CO2 gas. While people often label CO2 as a "Greenhouse Gas", it's important to remember that CO2 is necessary for all plant life, and mammals exhale CO2 as a natural bodily function. Therefore, labeling CO2 as a pollutant is wrong. Do Not Comply if necessary, California government officials should be informed of these facts.

When considering the future of the oil and gas industry beyond 2024, it is crucial to address the often-misguided use of the term "pollutant" in reference to carbon dioxide (CO2). While CO2 is frequently categorized as a "greenhouse gas," this label can be misleading without proper context. CO2 plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems; it is essential for the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, thereby sustaining plant life and, by extension, animal life, including humans.
Moreover, CO2 is a natural byproduct of
Moreover, CO2 is a natural byproduct of respiration in mammals. Every time we exhale, we release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, underscoring its inherent role in the respiratory cycle. Thus, describing CO2 simply as a pollutant overlooks its fundamental contributions to life on Earth.
As we engage in discussions about environmental policies and regulations, particularly in regions like California, it is imperative to present these facts to government officials and policymakers. An informed dialogue that recognizes the importance of CO2 can lead to a more balanced understanding of its role in both natural processes and the broader context of climate science. Advocating for a nuanced perspective on CO2 is essential to avoid oversimplification and to promote responsible energy practices that ensure both environmental sustainability and economic viability.

Governor Of California PANICS After Phillips 66 Gas Refinery Begins Shutting Down!
California's gas prices have reached crisis levels—and drivers across the Golden State are demanding answers. This video exposes the complex web of factors keeping California's fuel costs the highest in the nation. Discover how the state's strict refinery requirements, low-carbon fuel standards, and environmental regulations create a perfect storm for sky-high prices at the pump. Learn why California's unique fuel blend can only be produced by a handful of refineries, how the Cap-and-Trade program adds hidden costs to every gallon, and why even minor supply disruptions send prices skyrocketing. We'll explore the refinery shutdowns threatening California's fuel supply, the oligopoly of oil companies controlling the market, and whether the state's aggressive push toward electric vehicles offers any relief for frustrated drivers still dependent on gasoline.
Here’s your SEO-loaded description:
Gavin Newsom just forced 473 gas stations to close across California on January 1st, 2026.
Not because they wanted to close.
Not because business was bad.
Because Sacramento gave them an impossible choice: spend $500,000 on underground tank upgrades or shut down forever.
The state promised help through the RUST program. Station owners waited TWO YEARS just to find out if their loan applications were approved.
The help never came. Assemblywoman Diane Papan introduced AB 626 to give struggling owners a grace period.
The California legislature killed it.
Now 473 family businesses are gone.
Thousands of California workers lost their jobs.
And with Phillips 66 and Valero refineries closing — that’s 20% of California’s gas supply gone — experts predict $6 to $8 gas prices by end of 2026.
Meanwhile, Trump is cutting regulations and gas prices are dropping nationwide to under $3 a gallon. California? $4.50 and climbing.
This isn’t environmental policy. This is economic execution.
Governor Newsom is panicking as California's fuel crisis spirals out of control—and a blocked Costco mega gas station reveals exactly why. This video exposes how California simultaneously forces 473 mom-and-pop gas stations to shut down while a lawsuit killed Costco's 32-pump mega station that would have provided cheaper gas to thousands of families.
Discover how a neighbor lawsuit blocked $15 million in annual tax revenue and thousands of jobs, why the state's $2 million tank upgrade mandate is destroying family-owned stations across California, and how environmental regulations meant to help are actually creating worse pollution as drivers burn extra gas traveling farther for fuel.
We'll explore the perfect storm of refinery closures, failed government programs, and legal roadblocks preventing any solutions—and why experts predict $12 per gallon gas is coming with nothing to stop it.
Phillips 66 CEO FINALLY RESPONDS to the Governor Of California After Leaving California!
