that California’s “clean energy” agenda is a self-contained moral project, and anyone pushing back must be defending pollution. That framing ignores what Nevadans feel every time they cross a state line and pay the bill for Sacramento’s experiments.
When California constricts refining and pipelines while mandating pricey blends, the shock does not stop at its border. Prices rise across the region, supply gets brittle, and working families get told to buy patience instead of gas. Calling it “leadership” does not make it smart policy.
A conservative view starts with energy realism, fairness to consumers, and regional accountability. If Washington loosens rules that were choking supply, it can help drivers now without pretending mandates can replace markets overnight.
The principle at stake is simple: public trust depends on policies that deliver reliable, affordable energy, not symbolic victories.
