Access to safe, reliable and affordable energy is key to helping safeguard the ability for California working families to afford basic necessities such as food, education, medical care and housing. The state needs an All-of-the-Above energy approach – a diverse mix of in-state energy sources including renewable sources such as wind and solar, and traditional sources such as oil and natural gas – to meet our energy needs in the most sustainable way possible.

Foreign producers do not apply California’s leading safety, labor, human rights and environmental standards which means

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.
