California’s energy policies are raising concerns for national security with a new report calling them a “clear and present threat.” The report, detailed in the California Globe, indicates the state’s strict regulations on oil and gas production jeopardize military readiness along the West Coast. California is producing less than 25 percent of its own petroleum while importing over 65 percent. The lack of domestic refining capacity could lead to fuel shortages for military bases during conflicts. Critics argue that, despite Governor Newsom’s commitment to cleaner energy, the state’s policies threaten energy independence and national defense.
