Are California's Energy Prices About to GET EVEN WORSE?

A manufacturing plant that supplied almonds to American breakfast tables for over 110 years is shutting down forever — and not because almonds stopped growing or demand disappeared.

In this video, we break down the real reason behind the permanent closure of Blue Diamond Growers’ historic Sacramento processing facility, the loss of 600 jobs, and why this decision is part of a much larger pattern spreading across California.

From skyrocketing electricity rates and wildfire mitigation costs to refinery shutdowns and businesses quietly relocating, this is a deep dive into how rising energy prices are reshaping California’s economy in real time.

You’ll learn:

Why California electricity rates are now nearly double the national average

How utilities have passed $27 billion in wildfire mitigation costs to customers

Why refineries like Valero and Phillips 66 are shutting down

How manufacturing and industrial jobs are disappearing — and what replaces them

The hidden ripple effects on cities, tax bases, contractors, and families

Why these closures matter far beyond California

This is not a political talking point.
This is about math, costs, jobs, and people.

Entire communities are being reshaped as factories close, refineries shut down, and businesses decide the numbers no longer work. California may still thrive in tech and entertainment, but its industrial backbone is changing — fast.
