Governor Newsom Takes Action to Phase Out Oil Extraction in California Published: Apr 23, 2021 California will work to end oil extraction as part of nation-leading effort to achieve carbon neutrality
Action will halt issuance of fracking permits by 2024
SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today directed the Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management (CalGEM) Division to initiate regulatory action to end the issuance of new permits for hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) by January 2024. Additionally, Governor Newsom requested that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) analyze pathways to phase out oil extraction across the state by no later than 2045.
“The climate crisis is real, and we continue to see the signs every day,” said Governor Newsom. “As we move to swiftly decarbonize our transportation sector and create a healthier future for our children, I’ve made it clear I don’t see a role for fracking in that future and, similarly, believe that California needs to move beyond oil.”
Nah, it has to be a different Newsom. Politicians aren’t THAT two-faced and hypocritical.
$&1/gallon in a week
The oil companies should drive the California prices higher yet by throttling a refinery, to teach Pretty Boy a much-needed lesson.
But… but…. I thought the rising gas prices were because of Putin!!!
Right, Gavin?
No mention of the two bucks in taxes they tack on to every gallon?
Odd. Night before last, I paid $2.99/gal for regular at Wal-Mart in Myrtle Beach, SC. Felt like I was stealing gas.
No Gruesome. YOU ARE RIPPING THEM OFF! YOU THIEF.
The usual blame-shifting and excuse making you get with Democrats. They do it because they know the MSM will let them get away with it. SSDD.
Typical politician. Blame someone else. He has no clue on how to run a business, let alone an oil company.
Dont they only have 10 years to recoup their investment in equipment, trucks , pumps, buildings etc..
Only a few refineries produce gasoline according to the strict rules CA has. That’s why CA gasoline is so expensive. Because of CA regulations. It requires a more demanding and exacting process, so it costs more. Further the low number of refineries that make it, make it cost more as well.
Its on you (Gavin), slick.
Calif and the hated CARB have demanded ridiculous refining rules for years, resulting in the highest priced gas to be found.
Choke on it, liberals, you created it.
Taxes, taxes, taxes... They are not paying anymore than anyone else base price from the pipelines. In fact it all comes through Ca on its way to Nevada and Arizona. Az where it is cheap right now in comparison to the rest of the country.
Cause... Very little in taxs on the same base price Ca is paying from the same pipeline. This is all on California’s greed for taxes. And the dummies who are too stupid to do the math and keep buying it.
In a little more than a month, price has risen from $4.79 to $6.39 at the place I gas up in San Leandro.
and yet, CA state tax is higher than the station’s profit...
Newsom can’t even think of a better story than the one Joetato used? Seriously?
It’s a really stupid line of propaganda. Easy to refute and most people know it’s BS already.
Hey gav.
Now, about that billion dollars you supposedly gave to china, for masks, that never came, about that,,,who got ripped off there ? Did China never get the billion and that’s why no masks?, or did your Chinese buddies get the billion and Calif got no masks?
either way it was the Calif tax payer that got ripped off a billion tax dollars,,
either by you or your Chinese buddies,,
so what happened to the billion dollars that got ripped off ?
Don’t talk to me about getting ripped off, we Calif citizens know all about getting ripped off.
Won’t be long they will call the oil companies wreckers. Read Solzhenitsyn.
Imagine how expensive the gas will be when the last station in California closes.
