The Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 Tuesday to ban county investment in all fossil fuels — including coal, petroleum and natural gas — as part of an effort to combat climate change.
According to Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer's office, the action will prohibit investments"in any corporation that engages in the exploration, production, drilling or refining" of fossil fuels.
The vote aligns the county's $13 billion investment pool with the region's climate goals, Lawson-Remer said. Furthermore, because the county has no current investment in fossil fuels,"you are voting on a non-issue," she told supervisors.
