President Trump orders oil drilling operations to resume off California

The Trump administration has signed an executive order to resume oil drilling operations off the Southern California coast, citing national energy security concerns.

The order, which invokes a Cold War-era Defense Production Act, will prove controversial despite the potential to bring down gas prices, which are now the highest in America.

Gov. Gavin Newsom also flagged the state would challenge the order in the courts. (🤣...emoji.mine)

The new Trump move aims to restart oil production at a cluster of offshore platforms run by Sable Offshore (SOC.N).

"Drill Baby Drill"

Not surprising the California "climate Czar" Gov. Newsom, who still flies in planes that use fossil fuel, would put up a fight to block oil drilling in California.
 
This will likely end up in the courts, and to The SCOTUS.
By using the Defense Production Act, it could be a win for Trump because fuel is needed for the military.
If oil cannot be imported to the US due to what's going on in the Middle East, and our military doesnt have fuel, it would be a national security emergency.

Stunning turnaround for California’s oil industry after Trump’s surprise executive order to help ease gas prices​


Oil pumping operations are expected to begin imminently off the coast of California after President Trump issued an executive order Friday to resume oil drilling operations near Santa Barbara, The Post has learned.

Officials for Sable Offshore Corp. informed local fire officials of their intent to “resume pumping operations within 24 hours.”

“This coordination allows the department to maintain readiness for potential emergency response, including resource staging, personnel alerting, and collaboration with other agencies, in the event of any incident such as a leak, spill, or fire,” Fire Chief Garrett Huff said in a statement to The Post.
