Oil companies are trying to derail CA's most cost-effective climate policy & slow our transition to cheaper, cleaner energy. Don't believe the hype. They just want to protect billions of dollars in profits, not keep prices down for us. www.sfchronicle.com/climate/arti...

Gas prices are soaring. What role does California's climate policy play?

Oil industry leaders warn that an update to a state climate policy could add a dollar to the price of gasoline, though some accuse big oil of fearmongering.
