Trump, California and oil drilling
Digest more
The Trump administration is proposing to open federal waters off the entire coastline of California to drilling, as well as an area off the coast of Florida. Neither state’s waters have been open to new drilling for decades.
Environmental groups echoed that warning, with Dan Jacobson of Environment California saying, “The more we drill, the more we spill," noting that despite California's high standards for clean gas and oil, there is always the potential for mishaps.
