California moved to block the Trump administration from allowing new fracking and other oil and gas wells in national parks and wilderness areas across the state.

under the federal Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Fair Labor Standards Act and other environmental and labor laws that were in place before President Trump took office in January 2017.by barring the construction of pipelines, piers, wharves or other infrastructure necessary to transport the oil and gas from federal waters to state land.

The bill bars any state agency from granting land leases or other conveyance for pipelines and infrastructure for any new oil or gas project on those federal sites. That includes the State Lands Commission, which has jurisdiction over all submerged lands and the beds of rivers, lakes, bays, estuaries and inlets, as well as waters extending three miles off shore.

Under the legislation, oil and gas companies still would have the right to enter into leases to use privately held land for infrastructure. “This is a blatant attack on the oil industry,” said Grove, whose district is in the heart of California oil country.Grove and other critics said curtailing oil production in California will only lead to an increase in oil imports from outside areas that don’t have the state’s strict regulations and environmental protections.
