Protect the Pacific from Trump

Friends of the Earth opposes a draft 5-year oil and gas leasing plan by the Trump administration that would expand offshore drilling off the coast of California. The organization highlights the risks of environmental disaster and supports state-level legislation in California to block the necessary fossil fuel infrastructure for new leases.

• The Trump administration's draft 5-year oil and gas leasing plan proposes to aggressively open ocean waters, including extensive areas off the coast of California, to offshore drilling by companies previously responsible for the Deepwater Horizon spill.
• Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke announced via Twitter that Florida would be exempt from the drilling plan, a move the document attributes to the wishes of a GOP Governor seeking a Senate race seat.
• Democratic leadership in the California state Senate and Assembly have introduced legislation to halt the expansion of offshore drilling by prohibiting the development of new fossil fuel infrastructure, such as pipelines, on coastal lands under the State Lands Commission's authority.
