Newsom: Climate Leaders Don’t Back Big Oil!

California Governor Gavin Newsom wants to be lauded as a climate champion, but he's spent the past year caving to Big Oil demands.

He broke his promise to communities by keeping the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility open ten years after the worst blowout in U.S. history.
He publicly championed fossil fuel industry-backed schemes like carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen that can worsen climate impacts, increase costs for consumers and ratepayers, and extend the life of polluting projects.
He granted waivers and exemptions to restart offshore drilling off the coast of Santa Barbara – the site of 2015’s infamous oil spill disaster.
And he spearheaded legislation that will streamline permitting for new oil and gas wells in some of the most polluted parts of the state.

Newsom claims to be the leader we need, but how can we trust him if he backs Big Oil over California communities?

Tell Governor Newsom: Real climate leaders don’t side with Big Oil. It’s time to hold industry accountable for the damage they cause in our communities and to our wallets, starting with the Make Polluters Pay Climate Superfund.

You are at your best when you stand up to Trump on ICE raids, push back on the gross militarization of LA, and speak truth to Trump’s lies. And when you protect our wallets and our health by calling Big Oil lies, holding industry accountable, banning fracking ,and signing setbacks between oil wells and communities into law. We want to see even more of this.

Instead, I was appalled to see some of California’s hardest fought environmental protections rolled back this month, following months of backsliding from your administration: 
 - You spearheaded legislation to streamline permitting for new oil and gas wells in some of the most polluted parts of the state. 
 - Your administration granted waivers and exemptions for Sable Offshore Corp.’s bid to reopen three offshore drilling platforms and the corroded pipeline that caused the 2015 oil spill disaster in Santa Barbara. 
 - You publicly championed fossil fuel industry-backed schemes like carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen that can worsen climate impacts, increase costs for consumers and ratepayers, and extend the life of polluting projects. 
 - And you broke your promise to communities by keeping the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility open ten years after the worst blowout in U.S. history.

Real climate leaders don’t back Big Oil. There's still time to reverse course and protect your climate legacy. You can start by endorsing the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act to hold the corporations driving climate change responsible for the damage they caused in our state. Regular people shouldn’t pay to clean up their mess.
