Chevron Warns California Facing Historic Fuel Crisis As Diesel Hits Record $7 The world's biggest energy execs are currently at the annual CERAWeek conclave in Houston where, understandably, they are dropping bulletin bombs reeking of fire and brimstone, and warning the already critical oil/gas situation will only get worse if the pre-war status quo isn't restored (which incidentally will be great for their bottom lines... until the world is tipped into a recession). Take US oil giant Chevron, which warned that California is careening toward an energy crisis because of the Iran war (which will likely be resolved soon), and that the company may quit refining oil in the state unless officials roll back taxes and regulations (which is unlikely to ever be resolved as long as Dems are in charge of the Golden State). California is highly exposed to the disruption rippling across commodity markets because it imports about 20% of its refined fuels from Asia. But as extensively discussed here, oil product shipments from China, South Korea, Singapore and elsewhere are at risk of slowing significantly as Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, leaving Asian nations struggling to meet their own demand at home let alone export to California. Chevron’s oil refining head Andy Walz said the potential for fuel shortages in California is his worst fear: “ We have refineries in Asia that are having to cut crude, and so they’re going to make less products ,” Walz said in an interview Tuesday. “What if San Francisco doesn’t have the jet fuel it needs? Or Los Angeles? Or maybe gasoline?” And as if to confirm his warning, just hours later the price of California Diesel hit a record high just above $7 per gallon, or $7.072 to be precise. That topped the previous record of $7.012 in June 2022, in the first months of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Source: AAA Since California is disconnected from the US fuel-making centers of Texas and Louisiana, it is essentially an energy island. That’s compounded by ...
Japan should consider sending warships to help jointly secure the Strait of Hormuz with other nations and protect both its own vessels and those of other nations – even before a ceasefire, according to a former top national security adviser. A special measures law would be needed to enable such a move, going beyond what Japan has done in past geopolitical conflicts, said Akihisa Nagashima, who ser...

US President Donald Trump speaks during a press conference at Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida, on March 9, 2026. Saul Loeb | AFP | Getty Images President Donald Trump on Wednesday criticized two of his Supreme Court appointees — Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett — for voting with other justices in the bombshell 6-3 decision that ruled his signature reciprocal tariffs were illegal , saying they sickened him and are "bad for our country." "Two of the people that voted for that, I appointed," Trump said at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner at Union Station in Washington, D.C., without naming the two justices. Trump blasted Gorsuch and Barrett, along with the four other justices in the majority of the case, for not exempting the U.S. government from refunding up to $165 billion in tariffs paid by American importers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act .

"They couldn't care less." Referring to Gorsuch and Barrett, Trump said, "And they sicken me." "They sicken me because they're bad for our country," Trump added. Trump's other appointee to the high court, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, dissented along with two fellow conservatives, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. The majority, in its decision in the case known as Learning Resources Inc. v. Trump , said on Feb. 20 that a president does not have the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs on imports from most countries under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as Trump had claimed.
