WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Dec 27, 2019 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.800 Right now, California produces more energy from fossil fuels than 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:08.039 almost any other state, and Californians consume the most energy 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:11.840 from these sources. But environmentalist wackos are putting pressure on 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:15.840 Gavin Newsom, the left wing extremist governor out there, to 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:18.760 ban all new gas and oil drilling in the state. 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:23.200 Sierra Club director Kathryne Phillips says that people have been 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.599 very patient with Governor Newsom, who's been in office for 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.680 four whole months. She warns that patients could wear thin 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.520 if he doesn't act by his six month mark. Now, 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:38.360 imagine if Newsom was dumb enough to do what they're demanding. 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.200 Aside from suffering massive job losses in the energy industry, 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.800 the state would have to import all of that oil 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:50.040 and gas that consumers use. Prices would skyrocket, and the 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:54.440 poor and women and illegal immigrants would be the hardest hit. 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.639 Despite what these whackos say, renewable energy can't even begin 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.080 to make up the difference. It's not even renewable. But 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.840 this is the kind of idiocy that has become standard 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.759 operating procedure for left wing lunatics. If they ever really 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:13.240 got what they wanted, it would mean instant disaster for 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.760 them and for the rest of us and the rest 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.319 of the country, to which is why they have to 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:17.960 be stopped
