Myth: California lacks the resources to supply any significant additional local energy.
Fact: California currently produces 25% of the oil used within the state and imports the rest from foreign countries. The state could easily produce as much as 50% - making us less dependent on unstable foreign countries that expose us to political and price volatility.
According to a recent poll*, nearly 60% of California voters support legislation that restricts oil and gas imports from foreign countries and encourages more in-state production.
