California denies most fracking permits ahead of 2024 ban
KCRA ^ | November 24, 2021 | AP

Posted on 11/24/2021 9:00:57 PM PST by artichokegrower

California regulators haven't approved permits for the controversial oil and gas extraction process known as fracking since February, effectively phasing out the process ahead of Gov. Gavin Newsom's 2024 deadline to end it.

The state's Geologic Energy Management Division, known as CalGEM, has rejected an unprecedented 109 fracking permits in 2021, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. That's the most denials the division has issued in a single year since California began permitting fracking in 2015. Fifty of the permits, mostly from Bakersfield-based Aera Energy, were denied based solely on climate change concerns.

The environmental zealots own the West Coast.

Anything “Big Green” wants Big Green gets.

The urban, white college educated, feminist women, gays, and minority grievance groups, that have political control over the West Coast are suckers & losers.

Apparently the American Capitalist who run the Technology and Financial Sectors like the status quo because they fund this crap.

So is it safe to assume that California will forgo using any and all petroleum products? 👎🏻💛

I call it “weather change” because they have always wanted to tax tomorrow’s weather.

The chances are zero. Neither will they give up their beachfront homes in Malibu. This is pure pandering to wealthy doofus hipsters, living mostly in costal enclaves, who can easily afford, or are unaffected, by the consequences of the crackpot policies that they espouse.

California is loaded with oil and these wackos deny it to themselves and the nation.
Leftists are dangerous lunatics.

They are likely worried that Fracking might transform potentially disastrous
earthquakes into numerous much smaller harmless tremors.

That could cut into Federal Disaster Money graft.

Mandatory Vaccination for forrest fire fighters next?

“California is loaded with oil and these wackos deny it to themselves and the nation.

Exactly.

None of these kooks should be going into environmental studies, unless they’ve watched 1000 hours of “How its Made” and submitted a report on how they would do it differently.

If their fantasy world doesn’t measure up to reality from industry experts, they get to pursue a degree in something more in tune with skill set.

P.S. Cool name BTW. You’ve been on this site longer & now I know why I’m unclebankster and not Williams.(My surname)

$5 gas?

There is a better way

Exxon et al must grant California’s greatest wish and cease selling gasoline and diesel fuel within the state. California free from the evils of oil is the dream

The sellers should fulfill that dream and with hold the products from California

However:

California==10% of the USA population & is over 800 miles long.

Also==90% of the stupidity...it will hit them hard.
