State Assemblyman Carl DeMaio (R-San Diego) posted this recently on his
ex-Twitters:

BREAKING: California should brace for more than just $8.00/gallon gas. I just
left a closed-door briefing for state legislators where we were told that the
California oil industry is on the brink of collapse and the pipeline that
brings crude from the oil fields in the north of the state to the refineries
in the south will likely shut down soon. It requires a minimum pressure to
operate and will soon fall below that minimum due to the oppressive
regulations of Newsom and the Democrats in the Assembly. The result will
likely be $10-$12/gallon gas and gas shortages/rationing.

So we'll soon be paying ten bucks a gallon for gas while Nevada next door is
paying $2.89/gallon. And all of it inflicted on us purposely by 'progressive'
Democrats.

The only bright side in all of this is that it'll be the final nail in the
coffin of Newsom's presidential aspirations. No way he can even survive a
primary, let alone the general, with gas at $12/gallon and citizens having to
wait in ration lines for it in California while the rest of the country is
enjoying abundant gas at $2-3/gallon.
