SB 237

Big Oil Giveaways

This bill attempts to address California's energy needs as we transition to clean energy, but falls short in its goal. SB 237 significantly expands oil drilling in Kern County without adequate health protections for Kern communities and makes significant concessions to Big Oil billionaires. It fails in its goal to prepare California for our transportation fuel transition, leaving behind workers and communities.
