California Faces Rising Gas Prices Amid New Regulations and Standards

TL;DR Summary
California's gas prices may rise next year as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has approved stricter fuel standards to reduce emissions by 30% by 2030 and 90% by 2045. While environmentalists support the move for its long-term benefits, critics argue it will financially burden Californians, potentially increasing gas prices by up to $1.50 per gallon by 2035. The decision has sparked political debate, with Republican leaders accusing the Newsom administration of price gouging and forcing electric vehicle adoption.
