The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously on Friday to ban new oil and gas wells in the city and eventually close existing ones
The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Friday to ban new oil and gas wells in the city and eventually close existing ones, part of an oil phaseout trend in California.
Los Angeles is one of the biggest sites of oil drilling in the nation’s most populous state, along with Kern County in the California Central Valley. Several local California governments have passed or are considering oil drilling bans—including Los Angeles-adjacent Culver City, Los Angeles County and the cities of Antioch and Brentwood in the San Francisco Bay Area.
It’s more expensive oil, which will drive up the cost of gasoline, he said. It also will cut in-state jobs and “probably lead to costly litigation.” The plan offered recommendations on how to help those workers shift to new employment, such as with the renewable energy economy. Miranda said when she was younger she loved running. But then at 15, she started having trouble breathing while exercising and was diagnosed with asthma.
