New Warning from Oil Lobby: Climate Bill Could Limit Your Driving

As lobbying reaches a boil in the final weeks of the legislative session, business groups and others opposed to a climate-change bill have a new message: It could lead to state limits on when and how much you drive.
“It’s conceivable that they might do gas rationing or travel limitations…those are conceivable results,” said Citrus Heights Mayor Sue Frost in an interview. “At the end of the day, the damage goes to the consumer.”
Frost also participated Tuesday at a press event at a branch of Interstate Oil located at McClellan Park. The event, hosted by a coalition of oil industry representatives and other businesses, targeted Senate Bill 350, a bill from Senate leader Kevin de León that would sets a regulatory path toward cutting petroleum use in cars by half by 2030.
