Renewables produce more Jobs, more local investment and are more efficient than fossil fuels, by one to two orders of magnitude. <br><br>It also saves a lot of healthcare and environmental cost in the medium term.<br><br>Presenting this as a loss to affordability is ignorant or malicious.
Oil in the ground does not cause asthsmatic reactions.<br>Pollen does.
Community-driven policy?<br>California buys gasoline from Asia.<br>You just passed your asthma on to someone in Singapore or Iraq.
The oil wells were there before the city was.<br>The city is encroahing.
Now, Californians will have to pay even more for their gasoline.😂<br>There goes another state revenue that will have to be replaced with higher taxes.<br>Of course the people who demand for the drilling to stop don’t pay taxes
Ppl are ignorant as to who pays the bills locally. With a 50 trillion federal deficit they are about to find out!
Within 20 years? 😂 C'mon they won't do it. Why can't they just stop in 1 month?
California will also not consider 100% clean and 100% safe nuclear power. <br><br>If all the commercial spent nuclear fuel generated in the U.S. since the 1950s were stacked together, it would fit onto a single football field about 10 feet deep
Im 100% sure this will save the mother god earth. Please PLEASE dont tell anyone from California about the existence of India, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Mexico, Russia, or Vietnam.
Oil and gas provides job opportunities. <br>Toxic claims are generally, fabricated by certain group who is ignorant or fighting for monetary claims.
i will absolutely lose it if they start complaining about gas prices after this smh
If oil companies want to continue drilling, make them pay for the development of HSR across CA
Then Cali residents can’t complain about gas prices if you close them
This is what community driven policy making looks like
Why did they do this when there's a shortage and so much global uncertainty! Not the right time! So spoilt
oh. wonder if this affects the price of gas?
There should seriously be a law saying that if you ban the production of oil you're not allowed to use any😊
Power to the people
Since they happen to be placed on the top of the abyss I think it's a very wise move. Having mined THRU those fissures I personally think 💬🎩🔝🤔🦉💭🧐. That they are being entirely messed with for no GOOD Reason at all. Long live the City OF ANGELS 😇! And all other COASTAL PHENOMENA
So now they have to buy elon's cars lol
So they have own oil. Now need close and take other states & countries oil. 🛢️😅
It's definitely working in California, they have one of the highest price in diesel and gas. <br><br>When she said "I have asthma," she almost laughed.
Would you like to see a ban on oil drilling where you live?
Go LA
Big oil needs to cut them off completely. All the airports, military bases, state, local governments, hospitals, education, all of it.
Was the oil extraction being done before working class people of color lived there? If so then they should live with it because they chose to live there.
If they can decide to part ways with an essential industrial process then can we part ways with the entire state? Please?
