California's stringent environmental regulations are driving major oil companies out of the state, leading to potential fuel shortages and higher prices for consumers.

On October 16, 2024, the refiner Phillips 66 announced that it will cease operations at its Los Angeles-area refinery in the fourth quarter of 2025. This announcement came a few days after California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a new law placing additional regulations on refineries. The closure will affect approximately 600 employees and 300 contractors that currently work at the Los Angeles-area refinery.

These credits increase operational costs for refineries, which in turn raise the price of gasoline. Since this program is unique to California, it adds a cost that refineries in other states don’t have to bear. Unintended Consequences California energy producers must also comply with additional regulations, which are primarily designed to lower pollution. However, there are costs associated with these strict regulations, and there have been unintended consequences.
