California governor signs bill limiting oil, gas development.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday signed a law intended to counter Trump administration plans to increase oil and gas production on protected public land.
The law sends a"clear message to Trump that we will fight to protect these beautiful lands for current and future generations," said Democratic Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, who introduced it. "These bills are important steps toward prioritizing California's communities over the oil industry." Alexander said."In a perfect California, we wouldn't be producing or using oil at all, and we hope to get there soon. But in the California we live in now, the governor and the legislature have recognized the need to protect our citizens from the threats that the oil industry poses to our health and environment.
