California’s Self-Inflicted Energy-Price Fiasco

Will the Golden state drive the rest of the country into the same ditch? 

Letters to The WSJ

"Regarding Robert Bryce’s “Blame Sacramento, Not Moscow, for California’s Energy Crisis” (Cross Country, March 12): Onshore California has some of the richest oil basins in the world, yet the state’s pump prices are the highest in the nation and increasing. Sacramento’s anti-fossil fuel and energy-ignorant efforts have resulted in exorbitant prices for mostly imported oil and gas from environmentally and politically dicey overseas locations with the highest possible greenhouse-gas emissions.

Oil exploration has ceased even in the oil-friendly San Joaquin Valley, while Sacramento dithers on approving hundreds of drilling permits. How exactly does this help anyone?
