California has gradually weaned itself off fossil fuel fracking well ahead of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s 2024 ban of the oil and gas extraction method.
The California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM), the agency that oversees new permits, has denied 109 new permits from fossil fuel firms this year, according to Department of Conservation data. State regulators have approved just 12 permits in 2021, the most recent of which came in February.
Uduak-Joe Ntuk, the state’s oil and gas supervisor, said he couldn’t approve new fracking grants “in good conscience” in a September letter to the energy firm Aera Energy, The Associated Press reported. Ntuk cited the “increasingly urgent climate effects of fossil-fuel production” and “the continuing impacts of climate change and hydraulic fracturing on public health and natural resources.”
“Unfortunately, the State of California continues to take arbitrary actions that deliver little positive benefits for our fight against climate change but imposes big impacts on Californians – to our finances, to our freedoms, essentially to how we live and work every day,” Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) President and CEO Catherine Reheis-Boyd said in a statement last month.

Good thing we got him in charge of our energy needs
It's like someone claiming to be a vegetarian because he only eats meat killed and butchered by someone else.
The climate of cheap energy is verboten.
“… claiming to be a vegetarian because he only eats meat killed and butchered by someone else.”
Whaaat!!! You are telling me meat doesn’t grow on those little meat diapers in the white styrofoam trays? No way, man.
These people are insane. Solar and wind will NEVER support the population of today.
Urgent Climate Effects = Open Border
You fell into the trap. They would support a population of 500 million world wide. LOL!
this f’n state retards don’t care about the oil/gas jobs that will be eliminated..
What do they not like on Organic resource like crude oil?
Pure, natural!
These people are beyond dumb. Consumption won’t change at all due to this action. Everyone from the middle and working classes will suffer from this for years and these idiots are just getting started. We’ve got three more years of economic destruction IF we can get rid of them in 2024. If not, things look dark.
What’s the carbon footprint of millions of illegals?
Cut California off from all external energy sources immediately. Let them stew in their own juice.
They've shut down the most productive sources of electric power in the state.
Next, those providing electric power from across state lines need to cease and desist asap.
That is the best way to deal with these morons. Give them what they ask for and pull the plug on all energies and goods made with “fossil” fuels.
What utter nonsense. I wonder who's paying Ntuk (?!) off.
California is so screwed.
Apparently he's of Nigerian descent but he's totally bought into the climate change hoax.
China burns 23,000 pounds of coal per American, annually.
