Californians for Energy & Science

?? New report from the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) Institute for Applied Economics highlights the critical role of California's oil and gas industry in driving the state’s economy. Key stats: ?? 536,770 jobs supported (148,140 directly) ?? $23 billion in annual wages ??? $338 billion total economic contribution ?? $64.3 billion in local, state, and federal tax revenue supporting schools, roads, public safety, and other vital services This industry is essential for Kern County, powering local jobs, public services, and economic growth. We’re proud to be at the heart of it! Learn more: https://bit.ly/4kA6D9O.

The Public Utilities Commission and state-sanctioned monopolies have driven the price of energy to all-time highs with zero results. Literally, zero. "We compared utilities’ reported savings and found that utilities’ program portfolios generally fell short of achieving goals. We found that the four utilities’ program portfolios were rarely cost-effective and that 20 efficiency programs we reviewed did not achieve expected energy savings and were also generally not cost-effective." Is this progressive? Is this inclusive? Is this sustainable? We have more questions than answers. https://lnkd.in/gtyUp87u

Finding the best way to power AI was a key focus for many delegates this week at #CERAWeek in Houston. At the conference, I was pleased to have conversations about how CRC’s Kern County power plant—paired with nearby land, infrastructure, and firm gas supply—creates an ideal opportunity to efficiently power a data center without the hurdles many alternatives face. #CERAWeek #CRC #CarbonTerraVault

Unleash California Energy - for the Golden Age won’t happen without the Golden State. Thank you to Mike Umbro and Californians for Energy & Science for bringing together leaders and advocates from companies big and small, along with our friends in academia and the political arena. The vision is clear: to use data, science and common sense to start conversations about how and where energy is sourced. I love this state and would like nothing more than to continue to help provide energy for Californians, which should be by Californians to a larger degree than it is today. We have the resource, the skills and the technology. We need those who lead this state to support high paying Californian jobs for the very diverse group of employees that work whether it’s freezing or blistering hot to keep the pipes full, and even to bring needed electricity to the grid when it’s pushed to the max. #CaliforniaEnergy

Last week, the CleanConnect.ai team had the privilege of joining Californians for Energy & Science and top energy producers from across California for an important discussion on how we can Unleash California Energy. It was inspiring to hear from Mike Umbro and George Harmer, who are leading the charge in finding real solutions to move California forward. We also had the opportunity to hear from Senator Shannon Grove, who made it clear that the California government is "looking for a way out." At CleanConnect.ai, we know that technology is the way out. Our team was honored to showcase Minerva live at the event, demonstrating how AI-powered technology is reshaping the energy industry. We are not an air monitoring company—we are proving that sustainable petroleum-based energy is possible and that innovation is the key to unlocking California’s full energy potential. The future of energy isn’t about choosing between sustainability and production—it’s about leveraging technology to achieve both. Let’s keep the momentum going! #UnleashCaliforniaEnergy #AI #EnergyInnovation #CleanConnectAI #SustainableEnergy

Unleash California Energy!

"For there can be no Golden Era, without the Golden State..." Four of my Six reasons to tirelessly support Californians for Energy and Science CA4ES! Thank you Mike Umbro and Colleagues for all you do and to Daniel D McCall for the inspiration post idea… I am too humbled and honored to be invited and serve on a board of individuals that are looking to impact and pivot a common sense, grass roots return of CA policy that allows for a Golden State to help usher a Golden Era for the Legacy Energy sector… it is this black gold of sorts that has allowed not only revolutions of the industrial types but also has afforded Californias the comforts and mobility both practically and economically by helping legions of underserved improve their economies; it has allowed for community organizations and Special Districts to fund and offer the enrichment and capacity building of our youth in sports and afterschool enrichment as well as low and middle class livelihoods. Furthermore, the energy industry is where you will find many second chancers and justice-impacted individuals that rise via scholarly and economical metrics. The KPIs and outcomes do not lie…The impact Californians for Energy and Science is making is noteworthy as a group of academics, producers, refiners, and all related service providers, that attended are poised, locked in and primed to help UNLEASH California’s energy! #CA4ES #WSGRIT

Four reasons to support Californians for Energy & Science. One of the most positive meetings I have ever attended. I look forward to unleashing Californias energy with this team. Thank you Mike Umbro and colleagues for making this happen!

I always appreciate the opportunity to learn, listen from experts (UC Berkeley Professor speaking tomorrow & a PhD student from Harvard) and connect with stakeholders to expand my knowledge -especially in the Energy space. Californians for Energy and Science day of learning starts today for me- excited. "Californians for Energy and Science is a nonprofit focused on researching the net costs and benefits of energy produced in California versus energy produced outside of the state."

Unleash California Energy!
