release it, and it is convent sanctions russian energy or receives the crude oil everyday, and where as the million barrels would not compare to that, so it does put it that way. >> and people are dealing with the recovery here, and so they are concerned. >> yes, gasoline has been going down, and the state average is

now. >> and the thing is that california politicians are proposing a massive gas tax, and on the oil producers as well, and what could that mean for us? >> well, the politicians have to be mindful that there is implications for whatever policies they enact, and a lot of talk of taxing the isle companies on permits that they are not using. it is the mes massage and that less >> and a number of the areas that are we are seeing in the supply chain, and other issues are affecting the oil supply in meaningful ways. and now, housing opportunities for those trying to make it in the bay, last night, they authorized an environmental report for new commuter village plan.
