Sadly, California was at one time the second largest oil producer in the US, a position now occupied by New Mexico, which surpassed North Dakota during COVID. Offshore production lowered reservoir pressure enough to reduce submarine seeps which used to coat the beaches with tar to much lesser pollution (albeit natural), and made surfing much more attractive. The Hollywood Hills are full of pump jacks, or were at one time. Like so many other resources, this will be one more that those who live there will not benefit from, directly or indirectly.
Starving in the land of plenty seems to be a Socialist knack.
