Trump administration moves to open 1.6 million acres to fracking, drilling in California

Ending a five-year moratorium, the Trump administration Wednesday took a first step toward opening 1.6 million acres of California public land to fracking and conventional oil drilling, triggering alarm bells among environmentalists.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management said it’s considering new oil and natural gas leases on BLM-managed lands in Fresno, San Luis Obispo and six other San Joaquin Valley and Central Coast counties. Meanwhile, activists in San Luis Obispo are pushing a ballot measure this fall to ban fracking and new oil exploration in the county.
If BLM goes ahead with the plan, it would mark the first time since 2013 that the agency has issued a new lease for oil or gas exploration in California, according to the Center for Biological Diversity, which immediately vowed to fight the move. California is the nation’s third largest oil-producing state, after Alaska and Texas, with much of the production concentrated in the southern San Joaquin Valley and Southern California.
The Trump administration is trying to “sell off our public lands again,” said Clare Lakewood, a senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity in San Francisco. The federal government oversees about 15 million acres of public lands in California, and leases some of them for private use by contractors.

I don’t actually give a shite about fracking in slightest.
But goddamn this makes me so fricking excited just for the incoming melts.

Will likely help with wild fires in the future. Jerry Brown protecting certain “species” and not allowing controlled burns caused this wildfire mess, now The god emperor will save Cali too.

It's like he's just giving up on winning California in 2020.

O & G companies are better stewards of the land than the environmentalists.

Cali and Gov Moonbeam will tie this shite up in court for years.

1. I love this idea, might as well make Californian resources more useful than its denizens.
2. Knowing how Trump has done things in the past, this is something to get all the leftist idiots to focus on collectively while he works his magic on some other area of the state. Of course it will better the lives of all of California, but they will sky-scream that he ruined them. I'm going to guess it will be water based to better the states lack of ample water supplies.

So this twit doesn't know the difference between leasing and selling? I'm not surprised.

Donald Trump has truly been the most pro American energy President we've had in decades.

The only way to stop Trump's raping of the environment is for more progressives to vote for the Green Party candidates in upcoming elections.
