Phillips 66 and Kinder Morgan have proposed the Western Gateway Pipeline, which aims to transport gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from as far east as Missouri to California and Arizona by 2029. The project has sparked discussions about the potential impact on gas prices in California, as the pipeline could offer a more cost-effective and efficient means of transporting fuel to the state. However, concerns have been raised about the environmental implications and the need to balance economic benefits with sustainable practices and climate considerations. The development of this pipeline reflects the ongoing reliance on fossil fuels in certain regions and raises questions about the transition to cleaner energy sources in light of climate change.
