Trump Opens up Drilling on Federal Lands in California

Announcement comes on the heels of San Francisco being hit with an EPA notice of violation

The last time we checked California’s “resistance” against Trump, the president had threatened to cite San Francisco for violating Environmental Protection Agency regulations.

That round seems to be going to Trump, as the EPA has formally issued a notice to San Francisco for violations of regulations related to the Clean Water Act.

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation to San Francisco on Wednesday, accusing the city of improperly discharging waste into the ocean and bay and following through on President Trump’s recent pledge to cite San Francisco for water pollution.

    …“Substantial volumes of raw and partially treated sewage” at times flow across beaches, the notice says.

From the Sacramento Bee article linked and quoted in the Legal Insurrection article:

Quote
According to the decision, oil and gas drilling can move forward on more than 700,000 acres of public land and mineral estate in Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresno, Merced, Monterey, San Benito, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Stanislaus Counties.

The agency’s plan could result in up to 37 new oil and gas wells drilling on new land leases over the next 20 years, primarily in Fresno, Monterey and San Benito counties. BLM estimates that the oil and gas industry directly supports 3,000 jobs and $623 million in tax revenue within those counties.

BLM, which is a division of the Department of Interior, is also considering a proposal to conduct new oil and gas development on 1.6 million acres of public land in Southern California. The planning area, which covers Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Tulare and Ventura counties, includes about 400,000 acres of public land and 1.2 million acres of federal mineral estate, according to the report.

For the terminally curious, all three of the counties likely to be most immediately financially benefited, Fresno, Monterey and San Benito counties, all three voted Hillary in 2016.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I love our national parks, but if it means energy independence/the survival of the country, I'd be for drilling in The Grand Canyon if necessary.

San Francisco City and County wash human feces, into the bay.

By comparison, the oil & gas industry is "environmentally" sensitive and responsible.

A hard slap on California's other cheek.

This is GREAT STUFF, folks.
It's how you fight back and hit them where it hurts.

What OTHER Republican from the 2016 presidential candidate lineup would have done this?

C'mon... don't b.s. me!

The state of California has to realize that federal lands there belong equally to all the other states as well as to them.
