California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday that he would end new permits for hydraulic fracturing in 2024, and would ask state regulators to explore ways to end the extraction of oil entirely in the state by 2045.
Flashback to September 23, when Newsom was asked about banning fracking.
Governor Gavin Newsom today directed the Department of Conservation's Geologic Energy Management Division to initiate regulatory action to end the issuance of new permits for hydraulic fracturing by January 2024.
Governor Newsom requested that the California Air Resources Board 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.
Under today's directive, CalGEM will immediately initiate the rulemaking to halt the issuance of new hydraulic fracturing permits by 2024.
Newsom faces a likely recall election later this year.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
