Court BLOWS UP Newsom’s Only Gas Relief Plan — 32-Pump Costco KILLED as Crisis EXPLODES

While 473 independent gas stations faced shutdown across California, one project promised real relief: A 32-pump Costco mega station in Fresno that would sell gas $1 below market price. It would have saved families $500-1000 per year and generated $15 million in annual tax revenue. Then an environmental lawsuit killed it all. This investigation reveals how Governor Newsom lost control of California's fuel crisis when the courts blocked the only relief project that could have helped millions of families. Judge Jonathan Skyles issued a writ of mandate that voided every approval and left the promised mega station as nothing but empty asphalt. What we expose: • 219,000 sq ft warehouse + 32-pump station design details • Hearnden Riverside Coalition's environmental challenge strategy • How a 2021 climate plan invalidation doomed the project • Maria Santos and families who counted on $20/fill-up savings • Why environmental groups celebrated while working families suffered The timing couldn't be worse: Phillips 66 and Valero refineries closing, hundreds of mom-and-pop stations shutting down, gas prices heading toward $8/gallon—and the one project that could provide immediate relief gets stopped by legal technicalities. Fresno came within weeks of having the largest fuel station in the city's history. Instead, they got a vacant lot and broken promises while the fuel crisis deepened.
