  A dangerous heat wave is raising the risk of blackouts in the state on top of perennial drought and fires. And now, after enduring record pump prices in June that were much higher than the national average, Californians face surging gasoline costs again at the end of the summer travel season when they typically fall.
  
  Pump prices jumped by more than 5 cents a gallon overnight in San Francisco and Sacramento, according to auto club AAA, and record wholesale premiums signal they could rise further. At the state level, retail prices average $5.306 a gallon, almost 3 cents more than the previous day.

  U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating to the lowest since late July as the growth in the rig count and production has slowed despite relatively high energy prices.
  
  The TOTAL U.S. oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by one to 759 in the week to Sept. 9, down for the fifth week in six.  Despite the decline, the total rig count was still up 256, or 51%, over this time last year.
  
  U.S. oil rigs fell five to 591 this week, their lowest since mid-June, while gas rigs rose four to 166, their highest since August 2019.
  
  With oil prices up about 16% so far this year after soaring 55% in 2021, the total rig count fell in August after rising for a record 24 months in a row.
