Obama's Dream: Gas Prices To Rise Again

And the hits just keep on coming.
From the San Francisco Chronicle: For years, California has suffered sudden jumps in the price of gasoline. The latest price spike, which peaked this week, briefly saw some stations charging $5 for regular.
Now critics warn that one of the state's policies to fight global warming could make the situation worse.
Business groups are taking aim at California's "low carbon fuel standard," which is designed to cut the greenhouse gas emissions that come from making and burning fuel. Created in 2007, the standard forces fuel producers to lower the "carbon intensity" of their products 10 percent by 2020.
Oil companies can meet the standard by blending advanced biofuels into their gasoline and diesel. But those biofuels - such as cellulosic ethanol, made from grass, crop stubble or woody plants - are in short supply. If the oil companies can't get enough, prices at the pump could soar, critics say.
"The fuel price increases are going to make last week look like nothing," said Robert Sturtz, chairman of Fueling California, a coalition of companies that buy large amounts of fuel. Sturtz, for example, is also the managing director of fuel supplies for United Airlines.
"You'll be writing articles not about 50-cent increases in a week, but $1.50 increases in a week," he said. "That's what we're trying to avoid."
State officials and supporters of the low carbon standard consider those fears overblown.

Once again, we see that the liberals put  the environment ahead of people.  

And what sucks for Nevada is that we get much of our food and products shipped into Nevada from California, so we will be affected by the higher fuel prices in California.

If I were Brian Sandoval, governor of Nevada, I would be on the phone to stores like Wal-Mart and large trucking firms and see if they would want to consider moving to Nevada.  Wal-Mart should consider moving some of their distribution centers to Nevada and out of California.  Same thing with other grocery stores.

As I have said before: Sucks to live in California..
