'California cannot be a climate, health, and environmental justice leader while giving permits to the oil industry to dig, burn, and dump toxic pollution in our communities, air, and water,' say over 100 scientists in a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
California would stop issuing new fracking permits by 2024 and completely phase out oil and gas production by 2045.
Specifically, the letter's signers call on Newsom to"restart the health and safety rulemaking to permanently establish a... health and safety protection zone that prohibits all oil and gas operations within a minimum 3,200 feet of homes, schools, hospitals, and other sensitive sites," and"stop issuing permits for oil and gas extraction and fossil fuel infrastructure."
"Gov. Newsom has the power to end the neighborhood oil drilling that is poisoning communities of color first and worst." Letter signatory Daniel Kammen, the Lau distinguished professor of sustainability at the University of California, Berkeley, said that"there's no time for complacency when oil and gas are fueling California's climate chaos."
