As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

The state has built a complex system of canals and dams to capture that water and store it in huge reservoirs so it can be used the rest of the year when it doesn’t rain or snow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/UCB_CSSL/status/1609590448368275457\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is why officials closely monitor how deep the snow is in the mountains — and Tuesday was the first formal snow survey of the winter, a sort of Groundhog Day event where Californians get their first glimpse of how helpful the winter might be. Statewide, snowpack is at 174% of the historical average for this year, the third-best measurement in the past 40 years. Even more snow is expected later this week and over the weekend, giving officials hope for a wet winter the state so desperately needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a good start doesn’t guarantee a good finish. Last year, the statewide snowpack was at 160% of average at the first survey. What followed were the three driest months ever recorded in California. By April 1 — when the Sierra snowpack is supposed to be at its peak — the snow was just 38% of historic average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That history prompted muted optimism from state officials on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we see a terrific snowpack — and that in and of itself may be an opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief — we are by no means out of the woods when it comes to drought,” Karla Nemeth, director of the California Department of Water Resources, said Tuesday after a ceremonial snow measurement in the community of Phillips, just west of Lake Tahoe.[aside postID=\"news_11936674,news_1935067\"] This winter’s promising start was aided by a spate of strong storms last month, most notably on New Year’s Eve, when much of the state was drenched in heavy rain causing floods that killed one person and damaged a levee system in Sacramento County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That storm was warmer, so it brought more rain than snow. Two more powerful storms are expected to hit the state this week, and these will be much colder. The National Weather Service says the mountains could get up to 5 feet of snow between the two storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the precipitation seemed out of character for the parched state, it reflects the type of rainfall the state would expect to see during a normal winter but that has been absent in recent drought-driven years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Southern California, weather forecasters said “all systems go” for a major storm to sweep over the area Wednesday and Thursday, with peak intensity occurring from midnight to noon Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strong winds will add to impressive storm dynamics “setting the stage for a massive rainfall event” across south-facing coastal mountains, especially the Santa Ynez range in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, forecasters said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could cause dangerous conditions. On Jan. 9, 2018, the community of Montecito in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains was ravaged by a massive debris flow that killed 23 people when a downpour fell on a fresh wildfire burn scar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storms in California still aren’t enough to officially end the drought, now entering its fourth year. The U.S. Drought Monitor showed that most of the state is in severe to extreme drought. Most of the state’s reservoirs are still well below their capacity, with Lake Shasta 34% full and Lake Oroville just 38% full. It takes even longer for underground aquifers to refill, with groundwater providing about 38% of the state’s water supply each year. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jeanine Jones, drought manager, California Department of Water Resources\"]‘We know that it’ll take quite a bit of time and water to recover this amount of storage, which is why we don’t say that the drought is over once it starts raining.’[/pullquote]“We know that it’ll take quite a bit of time and water to recover this amount of storage, which is why we don’t say that the drought is over once it starts raining,” said Jeanine Jones, drought manager for the California Department of Water Resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But back-to-back-to-back powerful storms have left many Californians preparing for the worst. In San Francisco, crews were rushing to clear trash, leaves and silt that clogged some of the city’s 25,000 storm drains during Saturday’s downpour before the next storm hits later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Weather Service is predicting up to 6 inches of rain in San Francisco with wind speeds of up to 30 mph with gusts of 60 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor London Breed said city workers may not have enough time to clean all the storm drains before Wednesday and asked the public to prepare by getting sandbags to prevent flooding, avoiding unnecessary travel and only calling 911 in a life-or-death emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials had distributed 8,500 sandbags as of Tuesday, asking residents only to get them if they have experienced flooding in the past. Tink Troy, who lives in South San Francisco, picked up some sandbags from the city’s public works department on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They said [Saturday’s storm] was going to be bad, and it was really bad. Now they’re saying this one’s going to be worse. So I want to make sure I’m prepared and not having to do this when it’s pouring rain tomorrow,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press reporters John Antczak contributed from Los Angeles.

The state has built a complex system of canals and dams to capture that water and store it in huge reservoirs so it can be used the rest of the year when it doesn’t rain or snow.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Statewide, snowpack is at 174% of the historical average for this year, the third-best measurement in the past 40 years. Even more snow is expected later this week and over the weekend, giving officials hope for a wet winter the state so desperately needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a good start doesn’t guarantee a good finish. Last year, the statewide snowpack was at 160% of average at the first survey. What followed were the three driest months ever recorded in California.

Two more powerful storms are expected to hit the state this week, and these will be much colder. The National Weather Service says the mountains could get up to 5 feet of snow between the two storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the precipitation seemed out of character for the parched state, it reflects the type of rainfall the state would expect to see during a normal winter but that has been absent in recent drought-driven years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Southern California, weather forecasters said “all systems go” for a major storm to sweep over the area Wednesday and Thursday, with peak intensity occurring from midnight to noon Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strong winds will add to impressive storm dynamics “setting the stage for a massive rainfall event” across south-facing coastal mountains, especially the Santa Ynez range in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, forecasters said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could cause dangerous conditions. On Jan. 9, 2018, the community of Montecito in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains was ravaged by a massive debris flow that killed 23 people when a downpour fell on a fresh wildfire burn scar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storms in California still aren’t enough to officially end the drought, now entering its fourth year. The U.S. Drought Monitor showed that most of the state is in severe to extreme drought. Most of the state’s reservoirs are still well below their capacity, with Lake Shasta 34% full and Lake Oroville just 38% full. It takes even longer for underground aquifers to refill, with groundwater providing about 38% of the state’s water supply each year. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>News organizations were left scrambling and journalists were reacting with alarm this week following Elon Musk’s abrupt suspension of several reporters who cover Twitter, the latest sign of a growing rift between the social media site and media organizations that have used the platform to build audiences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Accounts of reporters with The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, Voice of America and other publications went dark Thursday. The suspension of journalists continued Friday with the account of a Business Insider columnist who published a series of articles between 2018 and 2021 highlighting what she called dangerous Tesla manufacturing shortcomings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was an exodus of advertisers shortly after the billionaire’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in October over content moderation and Musk now risks a rupture with media organizations, among the most active on the platform.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11935113,forum_2010101891137,news_11934602\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company hasn’t explained to the journalists why it took down the accounts and made their profiles and past tweets disappear. But Musk took to Twitter on Thursday night to accuse journalists of sharing private information about his whereabouts that he described as “basically assassination coordinates.” He provided no evidence for that claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business Insider’s Linette Lopez told The Associated Press that she was given no explanation for the suspension. Shortly before being suspended, she said, she had posted court-related documents to Twitter that included a 2018 Musk email address.

"content": "\u003cp>The town of Bishop lies at the intersection of two highways, Route 395 and Route 6, that in their own ways serve as a reminder of how isolated this community is. Route 395 runs north to south, mirroring the mountainous skyline that separates the town from the rest of the state. Route 6 begins here in Bishop; a sign on the outskirts of town reads “Provincetown, Massachusetts: 3,198 miles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where Megan (whose real name KQED is withholding to protect her medical privacy) has made her home for the last decade, after moving from the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s such an exhilarating experience to drive over the mountains and discover what’s on the other side,” she said. In addition to the town’s rugged beauty, she also fell in love with the “effortlessness of community.”[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11926949,news_11927686,news_11896908\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The town of Bishop has a population of under 4,000, but with a number of outlying neighborhoods (officially “census-designated places”), the community is home to around 10,000 people, more than half the population of Inyo County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, Megan learned she was unexpectedly pregnant. She knew that if she had to continue her pregnancy, she could. But, she thought, she didn’t have to: She was in California. So, completely confident in her decision to focus on her small business now and revisit having children in a few years, she called her local women’s clinic to schedule an abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To her surprise, the staff told her they didn’t do abortions. She called several other clinics but they all had the same answer. “And that’s how I found out that you can’t even get an abortion in Bishop or in the entire Eastern Sierra,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rights vs. access\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Before she needed an abortion herself, Megan had assumed that the procedure was available all across the state. Reproductive rights are openly supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has promised to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101889792/california-aims-to-be-an-abortion-sanctuary-post-roe-is-it-prepared\">make the state a sanctuary\u003c/a> for abortion seekers from all over the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, California legislators have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11926949/newsom-signs-slate-of-abortion-protection-bills\">passing bills aimed at providing abortion access\u003c/a> for out-of-state patients. And last month, Californians overwhelmingly voted to enshrine \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_1,_Right_to_Reproductive_Freedom_Amendment_(2022)\">the right to an abortion\u003c/a> in the state’s constitution. But Megan’s experience exemplifies how, in many rural communities, having the right to an abortion doesn’t necessarily mean having access to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11934858\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11934858\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"a wide landscape with dry grass and plants a mountain range in the background, and highway signs pointing to Reno and Bishop, California\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">More than half of Inyo County residents live in the Bishop area. \u003ccite>(Lauren DeLaunay Miller)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Dr. Marty Kim, a local OB/GYN, says Bishop health clinics don’t offer elective abortion services — as opposed to, for example, abortion procedures when a patient’s life is in danger, or during a complicated miscarriage — because of what she calls “rural American politics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inyo County is fairly conservative; in the November election, nearly 55% of voters here voted for Republican Brian Dahle for the governor’s seat. Recently, city council and school board members have faced criticism from residents and \u003ca href=\"https://www.inyoregister.com/news/bishop-city-council-member-takes-issue-with-pride-month-critics/article_275e74e8-e283-11ec-b8b2-c317bb0e80bd.html\">church leaders around discussions of LGBTQ+ pride events\u003c/a> and guidelines surrounding COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim believes that those reactions are part of a larger trend, one that indicates the town would respond harshly toward abortion providers. She isn’t ready to put the target on her own back by offering elective abortion procedures, despite her ardent personal support of abortion rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I think is very different and so important about being a doctor in a small town is that you get to be a town leader, whether you want to be one or not,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim said this conservatism is felt in the clinic where she works, too, and has contributed to her clinic’s decision not to offer abortion services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rural Health Women’s Clinic is part of the Northern Inyo Healthcare District, home to the largest hospital in both Inyo County and neighboring Mono County. If the clinic started offering elective abortions, Kim said, “You’ll have nurses who will refuse to participate in it or won’t do it.” And, she added, “we don’t have extra nurses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11934857\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents-.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11934857\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--800x600.jpg\" alt=\"the exterior of a white building with a sign that reads 'rural health women's clinic'\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents-.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Despite its modest appearance, the Rural Health Women’s Clinic is critically important to Bishop residents. \u003ccite>(Lauren DeLaunay Miller)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kim isn’t the only provider in town who is frustrated by the lack of abortion services. Dayna Stimson is a nurse practitioner at Bishop Community Health Center, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Medicare-Learning-Network-MLN/MLNProducts/Downloads/fqhcfactsheet.pdf\">federally qualified health center (PDF)\u003c/a> that receives funding to help underserved populations. This federal funding is what’s keeping Stimson from being able to perform abortions, not the potential for community objections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If funding were not an issue, I’d be willing to at least try and see what the backlash would be like,” Stimson said. “It’s health care and we’re not going to know what the community response is going to be until somebody decides to step up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://files.medi-cal.ca.gov/pubsdoco/publications/masters-mtp/part2/abort.pdf\">The Hyde Amendment (PDF)\u003c/a> prohibits federal funding from supporting elective abortion services, which means that for clinics like Stimson’s to provide abortions, they need to create a separate billing structure. They’re in the process of assessing the feasibility of doing so, but it’s a big lift for such a small clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Logistics, planning and expenses\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No matter the reason, the fact that the closest abortion clinic to Bishop is over 200 miles away makes access difficult for people like Megan. First, she tried a clinic in Reno but, faced with a four-week wait, she drove further, to Pomona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was just a matter of having a long drive, getting a really miserable motel experience, and waking up at 5:30 a.m. to get it done, and then driving back that day,” said Megan. “So it can be done.

She knew that if she had to continue her pregnancy, she could. But, she thought, she didn’t have to: She was in California. So, completely confident in her decision to focus on her small business now and revisit having children in a few years, she called her local women’s clinic to schedule an abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To her surprise, the staff told her they didn’t do abortions. She called several other clinics but they all had the same answer. “And that’s how I found out that you can’t even get an abortion in Bishop or in the entire Eastern Sierra,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rights vs. access\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Before she needed an abortion herself, Megan had assumed that the procedure was available all across the state. Reproductive rights are openly supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has promised to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101889792/california-aims-to-be-an-abortion-sanctuary-post-roe-is-it-prepared\">make the state a sanctuary\u003c/a> for abortion seekers from all over the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, California legislators have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11926949/newsom-signs-slate-of-abortion-protection-bills\">passing bills aimed at providing abortion access\u003c/a> for out-of-state patients. And last month, Californians overwhelmingly voted to enshrine \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_1,_Right_to_Reproductive_Freedom_Amendment_(2022)\">the right to an abortion\u003c/a> in the state’s constitution. But Megan’s experience exemplifies how, in many rural communities, having the right to an abortion doesn’t necessarily mean having access to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11934858\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11934858\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"a wide landscape with dry grass and plants a mountain range in the background, and highway signs pointing to Reno and Bishop, California\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/More-than-half-of-Inyo-County-residents-live-in-the-Bishop-area.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">More than half of Inyo County residents live in the Bishop area. \u003ccite>(Lauren DeLaunay Miller)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Dr. Marty Kim, a local OB/GYN, says Bishop health clinics don’t offer elective abortion services — as opposed to, for example, abortion procedures when a patient’s life is in danger, or during a complicated miscarriage — because of what she calls “rural American politics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inyo County is fairly conservative; in the November election, nearly 55% of voters here voted for Republican Brian Dahle for the governor’s seat.

She isn’t ready to put the target on her own back by offering elective abortion procedures, despite her ardent personal support of abortion rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I think is very different and so important about being a doctor in a small town is that you get to be a town leader, whether you want to be one or not,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim said this conservatism is felt in the clinic where she works, too, and has contributed to her clinic’s decision not to offer abortion services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rural Health Women’s Clinic is part of the Northern Inyo Healthcare District, home to the largest hospital in both Inyo County and neighboring Mono County. If the clinic started offering elective abortions, Kim said, “You’ll have nurses who will refuse to participate in it or won’t do it.” And, she added, “we don’t have extra nurses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11934857\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents-.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11934857\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--800x600.jpg\" alt=\"the exterior of a white building with a sign that reads 'rural health women's clinic'\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents--1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/Despite-its-modest-appearance-the-Rural-Health-Womens-Clinic-is-critically-important-to-Bishop-residents-.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Despite its modest appearance, the Rural Health Women’s Clinic is critically important to Bishop residents. \u003ccite>(Lauren DeLaunay Miller)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kim isn’t the only provider in town who is frustrated by the lack of abortion services.

While many politicians are rallying behind Newsom’s proposed reprimand of oil companies, economists are dubious that a windfall penalty will actually reduce the price of gas at the pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s gas prices are currently about $1.50 per gallon higher than the national average, \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/\">according to AAA.\u003c/a> That cost difference is due to the state’s relatively high gas tax, environmental fees, and a special fuel blend that the state has used for decades to reduce air pollution. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That means when refineries are down for maintenance, as some have been in recent months, it’s challenging to import gas that meets state standards. So when supply is squeezed, prices jump faster and farther here.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also lacks pipelines to import fuel due to environmental regulations, and the vast majority of the state’s gasoline is produced by just five companies: Chevron, Marathon, PBF Energy, Phillips 66 and Valero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But politicians are concerned that more is at play, and that these companies are gouging their fuel prices as they report record profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether that’s true or not, many economists say a windfall penalty is not the way to rein in what drivers pay for fuel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing members of the CEC, UC Berkeley energy economist Severin Borenstein said “the windfall profit tax would not lower gas prices.

The only result of a windfall profits tax will [be to] make the problem worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Concerns about gouging\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It’s not only the oil industry throwing shade at Newsom’s idea. While many politicians are rallying behind Newsom’s proposed reprimand of oil companies, economists are dubious that a windfall penalty will actually reduce the price of gas at the pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s gas prices are currently about $1.50 per gallon higher than the national average, \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/\">according to AAA.\u003c/a> That cost difference is due to the state’s relatively high gas tax, environmental fees, and a special fuel blend that the state has used for decades to reduce air pollution. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That means when refineries are down for maintenance, as some have been in recent months, it’s challenging to import gas that meets state standards. So when supply is squeezed, prices jump faster and farther here.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also lacks pipelines to import fuel due to environmental regulations, and the vast majority of the state’s gasoline is produced by just five companies: Chevron, Marathon, PBF Energy, Phillips 66 and Valero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But politicians are concerned that more is at play, and that these companies are gouging their fuel prices as they report record profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether that’s true or not, many economists say a windfall penalty is not the way to rein in what drivers pay for fuel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing members of the CEC, UC Berkeley energy economist Severin Borenstein said “the windfall profit tax would not lower gas prices. It would simply claw back some of the profits from those high prices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erich Muehlegger, professor of economics at University of California, Davis, says windfall profit taxes fail to address the underlying drivers of high gas prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In fact, a windfall profit tax might actually make it more likely in the future to see similar events like what triggered the windfall profit tax in the first place,” Muehlegger said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11933948\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/GettyImages-1245162773.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11933948\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/GettyImages-1245162773-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"oil pumps in a field\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/GettyImages-1245162773-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/GettyImages-1245162773-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/GettyImages-1245162773-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/GettyImages-1245162773.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oil wells are seen at an oil facility by Highway 5 near Bakersfield. \u003ccite>(Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The argument goes that a windfall tax will reduce incentives for the industry to invest in capacity, further strangling supply and making gas \u003cem>more\u003c/em> expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. had a federal windfall tax in the 1980s, and studies showed that it reduced oil production nationally, and led the U.S. to import more oil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should the state pass a windfall tax, it’s unclear how it would work. The government would have to define what an “excessive” profit may be and decide how to distribute the money collected through the tax, as well as who should receive those funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A mixed bag for the climate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Newsom and other elected officials are trying to rein in high gas prices while at the same time attempting to wean Californians off fossil fuels. And the impact any windfall tax may have on the environment is a mixed bag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A short-lived tax would have little impact on emissions, Muehlegger says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A permanent tax, in the short-term, could increase emissions, leading to less refining within the state, and the use of more fossil fuels to transport imported oil. Over the long-term, emissions could decrease as higher gas prices may encourage less driving or higher adoption of alternatives like public transit, electric vehicles or e-bikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paasha Mahdavi, associate professor of political science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, agrees passing a windfall tax is not the best way to reduce emissions or win politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You bear a huge political cost for doing so because you’ve raised the price of something that is very, very visible to everybody,” Mahdavi said. “And you’ve angered a very broad constituency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way to deal with high gas prices and emissions, he said, is to incentivize people to use clean energy sources. “We want policies that last, that create winners, not policies that anger losers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
