Yesterday I had Mike Ariza back on the podcast, and we were joined by California Assemblyman Stan Ellis. We got an update on California’s coming oil crisis, and the problems that are fast approaching with no imports on the way. It might provide Trump with an opportunity to come in and fix things, but they believe it would be a temporary fix. If you want a breakdown of what is happening and what is on the horizon for California and other surrounding states as far as energy supply chains, you will enjoy this one. You can find Mike on Twitter, but he has also been contributing to Gas Crisis, where you can find his work and reach out to get in touch with Stan.
