Governor Newsom Says "California Beats Big Oil – Again"
Sacramento, CA...California notched another victory against Big Oil. The industry announced it is pulling its referendum aimed at repealing California’s law protecting neighborhoods from the dangerous impacts of drilling. The measure that would have appeared on this November’s ballot could have allowed the oil industry to keep drilling new wells within 3,200 feet of homes and schools and operating existing wells without critical pollution controls.
Now that the industry has pulled their referendum, implementation of California’s law requiring setbacks (SB 1137) can begin – a crucial protection for public health and safety.
"Big Oil saw what they were up against — and they folded, again. No parent in their right mind would vote to allow drilling next to daycares and playgrounds. This victory ends new harmful drilling in our communities and enforces common-sense pollution controls. This is a huge win for all Californians, especially the more than two million living within a half-mile of these operations."
Governor Gavin Newsom
Recent California victories over Big Oil
Working to end price gouging. Governor Newsom signed a first-in-the-nation law to combat price gouging at the pump last year after calling for a special session of the Legislature to hold Big Oil accountable. The law implemented new accountability measures and created an independent watchdog.
Suing Big Oil for decades of deception. California filed a lawsuit last fall against Big Oil for more than 50 years of deception, cover-up, and damage that have cost taxpayers billions of dollars in health and environmental impacts.
Protecting nation-leading vehicle pollution standards. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reaffirmed California’s decades-old authority to set clean vehicle standards. The decision was a victory against Big Oil and red states seeking to overturn California’s authority.

Gavin's "victory" costs Californians an extra $20,730,000,000 per year in fuel prices. Only thing Gavin's victories have done is punish us.

Your next Gavy, you and your mandates, if I’m tight July 1st of this year , Calif. gas tax is scheduled to go up another 60cents a gallon, you have done a lot to curb”big oil” as you call it, made it more expensive for all, and ridiculously high for those that can’t afford it! Your a loser just like Joie, and while I’m at it, I hear your public school mandates don’t apply to your brats, moving them to Marin co to go to private schools, Trump needs to debate your orry, commie ass next!

Benzene emissions near oil wells is good for kids- MAGA says.
Ancient sunlight- where oil came from, or... the sun we get now, without pollution, solar, wind energy.
The MAGAs choose old sun energy -fossil fuels, burn something, the smart people choose new sunlight, everyday we get more than enough energy from the sun to power the entire world many times over. Make electrons directly, no burning of anything.

I have a great idea! Trump and Gavy debate! They will both be hooked up to a lie detector machine with a huge screen behind them with a huge arrow that points at true or false! The first question will be” how many times have you cheated on your wife”? Now, when that is over, Tump will destroy “slick Gavy”
