And that, a ton of that is not legislated specifically, is the way it's implemented by these endless agencies.

We've got 200 plus state agencies like CARB, the California Air Resources Board,

that are just churning out these new rules and everything from trucks.

And, you know, they have this thing called VMT, vehicle miles traveled, that gets in the way of building anything.

Because if you want to build anything, you have to do a calculation of vehicle.

Because of their war on fossil fuels, the climate warriors are shutting it down.

So we now are in a ludicrous situation.

We're using about the same as we ever did, but instead of producing it in Kern County near Bakersfield and it coming on a nice clean pipeline to the refineries here in LA and up on the coast,
