(The Center Square) – Republican legislators in California are concerned proposed changes to the state’s cap-and-trade program could drive up gas prices at least $1 a gallon.
The concern is being raised as California sees prices rise above $5 per gallon during the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran.
According to AAA, the national average across the country was $3.53 a gallon on Tuesday. In California, the statewide average was $5.29 a gallon, the highest in the country. The lowest per-gallon gas price on Tuesday was in Kansas, at an average of $2.96 a gallon.
