Gas Prices in California
A gallon of regular gas costs $5.36 on average in California - the highest in the country. And if that feels unusually high, it’s because prices have been on a steep upward trajectory in recent weeks, and spiked even more following the start of the Iran War. Crude oil prices have surpassed $100 a barrel. AAA Northern California spokesperson Doug Johnson tracks gas prices and travel trends and he joins us today with more about what’s going on at the pump. We’re also joined by Severin Bornstein, Faculty Director of the Energy Institute at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. He’ll discuss the state of California’s refineries. The Golden State is a top 10 oil producer in the country, but has scaled back significantly in recent decades.
New Book ‘Follow the Water’
In 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke was stranded in the Amazon rainforest for 11 days after being the sole survivor of a plane crash. A Sacramento educator, nature conservationist and author Ellen Cochrane felt a personal connection to Juliane’s story of survival, which inspired her latest book Follow the Water. She joins us to talk about how science isn’t just confined to textbooks ahead of the book’s launch party on March 21 at Beers Books in Sacramento.
March ‘Arts Talk’
As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, the area’s many art walks from 2nd Friday ArtAbout in Davis to 2nd Saturday Art Walk in Sacramento become even more appealing. On this month’s Arts Talk with Veronica Rodriguez, we’ll learn about a variety of walks and events happening throughout the Sacramento region.
