The city ordinance phases out all such oil and gas extraction activities by banning new oil and gas extraction and ceasing existing operations within 20 years.
"What happens very often is the profiteers of the oil and gas companies will use their mistreated workforce as a way to try to push back on policymakers,'' Krekorian said at a briefing following the meeting."They will try to use a fake, false untruthful argument about impacts on gasoline prices.''
"This group worked tirelessly,'' Councilman Mike Bonin said."They went to almost every neighborhood council throughout the city. They spoke to churches. They spoke to neighbors. They spoke to council members. They spoke to staff members countless times. ... They are the real godfathers and godmothers of this. This was born from people power, organizing and saying 'This is what we need.
"The neighborhood oil and gas drilling that has been ravaging our Black, Brown and often disinvested communities for generations exists because of the same kind of racism and corruption we all heard on that recording,'' Shaw-Wakeman said. Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed new rules last October, under which new oil wells or drilling facilities in California would have to be at least 3,200 feet from homes, schools, hospitals, nursing homes and other"sensitive locations.''
