Burgum Says Oil Export Ban Unlikely to Lower Energy Prices — 4dU.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said at a G20 energy meeting that banning exports of oil or fuel would not lower energy prices amid the Iran conflict, warning such steps could trigger retaliatory actions and hurt consumers, including in California. He noted California’s high prices are linked to refinery closures and said options are limited ahead of the midterms, with the White House weighing the Defense Production Act to expand refining capacity as an alternative to export bans.

Rachel Meyers Export bans would likely backfire with retaliation and do nothing to fix California's refinery shortages.
