Marathon Petroleum Corporation has sent a critical letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom, warning him about the severe economic and national security consequences if the state’s proposed Cap-and-Invest program is implemented. The company, which operates California’s largest refinery, argues that the increased costs will make operations unviable, leading to higher gas prices, job losses, and a reliance on imported fuel for the military. This warning follows similar concerns raised by Nevada’s governor and Democratic lawmakers.
