CALIFORNIA’S H GH ENERGY DEMAND
California is a busy state. With the fifth-largest economy in the world and 40 million people and growing, California’s energy demand dramatically EXCEEDS its supply.
Californians need 111% MORE ENERGY than the state produces.

We use ALL the oil and natural gas produced in the state and choose to import the rest to satisfy our demand.

California’s energy demand has us in a chronic energy deficit that makes us dependent on out-of-state and foreign sources that don’t share the Golden State’s stringent safety, labor, human rights and environmental standards. California has vast oil, natural gas and renewable resources that can make us more self-sufficient and secure, and we have the workforce and technology to develop those resources safely and responsibly for decades to come.
