Iowa Rep. Ashley Hinson and Western Energy Alliance's Kathleen Sgamma discuss the Biden administration's energy policies on 'The Evening Edit.'on Friday voted unanimously to ban drilling new oil and gas wells and phase out the use of existing ones over the next 20 years. , who had argued for decades that pollution from the wells was harming residents' health. Council members celebrated the vote as a victory for "environmental justice.
There are 26 oil and gas fields and more than 5,000 oil and gas wells in the city of Los Angeles, both active and idle, with some of them abandoned, according to the city planning commission. While traditionally these wells have been constructed in heavy industrial areas, many have been located within residential neighborhoods, nearby community parks and schools. More than 500,000 Los Angeles County residents live within a half-mile of an active oil well, City News Service reported.
Krekorian addressed concerns about gas prices, commenting that less than 1% of crude oil processed inrefineries comes from wells in Los Angeles and stating that the loss of drilling will not impact gas prices locally, according to City News Service.
It might be time to allow California to become its own country.
I am sure that will solve the racism issue on the Council. SMH
LA will regret it!
Remember all you have to do to save money in these hard times is to buy an $80,000 electric car come on man!
All petroleum and products made with petroleum should be immediately removed from LA. That would include electricity produced with fossil fuels. Immediate stop now!
Way to use your brains LA. Cars need gasoline, no matter how hard you try to say they do not.
la should not benefit from gas oil or coal from others and see how that works
Pay attention, these cities are pricing out average Americans, is the new way for the elite to make cities of their own and run out of town hard working people.
Something is in the water there.
Brilliant….
Good drain those libs , hit em where it hurts.
Los Angeles is phasing out all forms of energy they don't like. No more oil and gas, no more nuclear power, no more coal. Solar power and wind power is preferred. Result will be no more industry, no more jobs, no more economy. They are willing to strip mine the rest of the world
F N 🤡🤡🤡🤡
amlivemon Do not let the wokes stop drilling along Florida's coast!
What if Chevron wants to refine the oil from Venezuela in California?
All LA City councilmbers know this ordinance is going nowhere. More Virtue signaling. The existing leases are not going to stop producing. Perhaps new oil wells can be prevented from producing. But the legal challenges they face will allow existing oilwells intact.
Germany tried that. No showers.
60% of California electricity comes from renewable energy... they can afford to turn off some oil rigs
What did the President know and when did he know it? Musk releases Hunter Biden laptop files that reveal Twitter execs replied 'handled' to requests from 'Biden team' and DNC to delete tweets just ten days after scandal broke, according to the Daily Mail. Where's the DOJ? AWOL?
Such ignorance
Evil hypocrisy
They can buy out and shutdown gas station, so can any blue city. Quit being hypocrites, get rid of your gas cars, fossil fuel heat, go solar. Show everyone how it’s done. That should reduce emissions in the US, what about 50% overnight?
INSANITY
