After being offline for more than a decade, oil is officially flowing again through the Santa Ynez Pipeline System off the coast of Southern California.
The network of pipelines, which pass through Santa Barbara County before ending at Pentland Station in Kern County, restarted Monday following an executive order from President Donald Trump on Friday, which has been seized on by Gavin Newsom.
“This is an attempt to illegally restart a pipeline whose operators are facing criminal charges and prohibited by multiple court orders from restarting,” Newsom said in a statement when Trump first announced plans for Sable to resume operations.
The Trump administration, which used emergency powers under the Defense Production Act, cited national security concerns and “potentially disastrous consequences” for residents in California.
Jim Flores, Sable’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, underscored the company’s commitment to complying with the executive order and put “California consumers first by increasing domestic supply of crude oil into the California market by approximately 17%.”
“We look forward to working closely with the Department of Energy in fully complying with the DPA and working with the Trump administration to take all necessary steps to deliver the energy necessary for the security and defense of the country,” Flores said in a statement on Monday announcing that oil is once again flowing.
Sable restarted oil production at one of its offshore platforms in May, but has not sold or transported the product due to ongoing legal battles.

It is legally being started Mr newsom. By direct legal order of the President. newsom is an insufferable fool. At least legendary crazy man Emperor Norton was sufferable.

This same scumbag denied water to firefighters so homes could be destroyed. He belongs in a gulag dungeon.
Exactly, Commiefornia can’t refine it!
Look on the bright side, Gav: you’ll have a lot more oil available to put in your hair.
After being offline for more than a decade, oil is officially flowing again.
Good deal MAGA
Now time for the real judges to appear.
It is piped to Bakersfield, where existing refineries process it.
