On Friday, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the nation’s most populous state would phase out fracking in less than three years and explore options to eventually end all oil extraction.
“The climate crisis is real, and we continue to see signs every day,” said Newsom in a statement. “As we move to swiftly decarbonize our transportation sector and create a healthier future for our children, I’ve made it clear I don’t see a role for fracking in that future and, similarly, believe that California needs to move beyond oil.”
