Well, well, well. It looks like Jerry Brown, also known as “Governor Moonbeam” of California, who constantly preaches about “green energy” and climate change, was looking to get himself a cut of some sweet oil money. If he could find it on the Brown family land, that is.

So, he did what any normal California citizen would do. He called in the state oil and gas regulators to do some research for him.

After a phone call from the governor and follow-up requests from his aides, senior staffers in the state’s oil and gas regulatory agency over at least two days produced a 51-page historical report and geological assessment, plus a personalized satellite-imaged geological and oil and gas drilling map for the area around Brown’s family ranchland near the town of Williams.

State regulators labeled the map they did for Brown “Oil and Gas Potential In West Colusa County,” and “JB_Ranch,” referring to the Brown family land in Colusa County.

Ultimately, the regulators told the governor, prospects were “very low” for any commercial drilling or mining at the 2,700-acre property, which has been in Brown’s family for more than a century.

Oh, wait a minute. That’s not something that any citizen of California can do.
