Newsom Faces Fuel Shock: California’s Gas Imports Drop Without Warning | Ava Sterling

Описание: Newsom Faces Fuel Shock: California’s Gas Imports Drop Without Warning | Ava Sterling
California’s fuel system is built on a fragile truth most people never see: imports are the pressure valve. When that valve tightens—whether from refinery transitions, terminal constraints, or global cargo rerouting—prices don’t just rise. Stability breaks.

In this report, we map the hidden machine behind the headline: who controls the supply chain chokepoints, why a “sudden” import dip hits California harder than most states, and how the ripple effects can reach jobs, prices, rent, and household budgets faster than politicians can respond.

You’ll also get three forward scenarios—De-escalation, Stalemate, Rupture—with probabilities, so you can understand what to watch next instead of reacting to the next price spike.

Question for you: What are you paying per gallon right now—and how fast would a sudden jump change your month?
