The governor said his people and lawmakers will work out details. Such as what the cap should be on profits , what the fine should be and who gets that money. The Western States Petroleum Association denies price gouging and said higher prices are the result of a number of factors.
“Supply and demand, the high cost of doing business in California and the public policies we’ve seen implementing over the past several years that really discourage energy that is affordable to California,” said Kevin Slagle of the Western States Petroleum Association. Severin Borenstein, faculty director of the Energy Institute at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, says the proposal could keep big oil from increasing prices, but then again, “If we have a real shortage, a couple of refineries have disruptions, and they don’t raise prices – we are more likely to get gas lines.”
Lawmakers will reconvene in January to consider the penalty, which requires only a majority vote to pass. This article tagged under:
