California’s oil and gas issues are self-inflicted, and the crisis will only get worse as California Democrats continue to blame everyone but themselves for this problem.

The vice chairman of the California Energy Commission told state legislators that California has enough fuel supply to meet demand for the next six weeks; beyond that, the state’s gas prices could rise further. California has become almost entirely dependent on foreign oil shipments, with that supply problem (along with the state’s extraordinarily high gas tax) causing gas prices to rise to an average of $6.11 per gallon statewide, the highest in the nation.
