A Fossil Fuel Phaseout Without Stable Prices? Good Luck, Babe!

A Fossil Fuel Phaseout Without Stable Prices? Good Luck, Babe!
SHARE

California has been making significant strides in its shift away from fossil fuel-based energy and transportation towards zero-emission options powered by clean electricity. However, recent announcements from Valero and Phillips 66 about refinery closures have raised concerns among elected officials regarding potential fuel shortages and high gas prices.

The state finds itself in a dilemma similar to the one described in Chappell Roan’s song “Good Luck, Babe.” California is successfully transitioning to clean technologies but still heavily relies on gasoline for transportation needs. It’s a complex identity that needs to be reconciled.

Despite the challenges, California has made remarkable progress in promoting zero-emission vehicles, with a quarter of new cars sold in the state being emissions-free. The state also has more electric vehicle chargers than gasoline nozzles, showcasing a commitment to reducing gasoline demand and emissions.

While the federal government may try to impede this transition, the shift towards electric vehicles is inevitable. As auto manufacturers invest in battery technology, the market for EVs will continue to grow, leading to a decrease in gasoline usage.

However, the sudden closure of refineries poses a threat to gasoline supply, leading to potential price spikes that disproportionately affect low-income Californians. To ensure a smooth transition without affordability impacts, the state must manage the decline in gasoline demand effectively.

California needs to balance the need for gasoline supply to meet declining demand while advancing towards cleaner transportation options. The state has already started planning for this transition through initiatives like the Transportation Fuels Assessment and proposals from the California Energy Commission Vice Chair.

Immediate, medium-term, and long-term actions are needed to stabilize prices, increase supply, and drive down emissions. While some proposals may seem controversial, they are essential for ensuring stability in the short term without compromising long-term goals.

Failing to act could result in price spikes and health consequences for vulnerable communities. California must navigate this transition carefully, balancing the immediate need for gasoline supply with long-term goals of reducing emissions and improving air quality.

By following the recommendations outlined in the Vice Chair’s letter and prioritizing both short-term stability and long-term sustainability, California can continue to lead the way in transitioning towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. It’s time to get to work and ensure a smooth transition to zero-emission transportation without compromising affordability or environmental health.
