Great fact-checking from @GavinNewsom on a few of Big Oil's lies. The Governor also draws the connection to neighborhood drilling. ICYMI, the price hike last fall was in response to--and revenge against--passage of SB 1137 (Gonzalez), which created 3,200' setbacks.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: California may soon penalize Big Oil companies who price gouge at the pump — and refund that money back to consumers.

Oil and gas executives are desperate to stop it.

@GavinNewsom fact-checked their lies.

Budget cuts to the ZEV program underscore how crucial it is that @AirResources reform the Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

>80% of LCFS credits still go to biofuels.

Such lopsided support for dead-end combustion solutions cannot be justified, given the state's ZEV goals.

California’s wildfires are getting bigger. More destructive. They’ve wiped whole communities off the map.

Oil drilling is #FuelingTheFlames. Go to https://t.co/SVR8lLjpA2 to tell @GavinNewsom: STOP permitting more drilling!

Fossil fuel pollution is a public health crisis disproportionately harming the lungs of low-income, Black, Indigenous, Asian American, and Latinx communities.

Oil wells do NOT belong near Californians’ homes, hospitals, schools, and playgrounds. #PolluterGreed

[APEN @APEN4EJ]

👀Big oil’s Q1 lobbying disclosures for California are out. This year, big oil is spending big 💰 to influence California climate policy at #CAleg @AirResources and @CAgovernor. 🧵

I am so honored to have the support of @CBD_Action_Fund! As an advocate for environmental justice, I am committed to continuing the fight for a healthier environment in the California State Senate.

[Connie Cho @conniedotcho]

Industry has *already* started to transition on its own terms—cutting jobs without warning, jumping to proposals counterproductive for the climate + intended to distract its shareholders. The transition happening now is unjust @CAgovernor #CALeg

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

1) Russia can only afford to fight because of its oil and gas
2) Russia's main weapon against Europe is its threat to cut off oil and gas
3) So it might be wise to stop using oil and gas now that we have workable alternatives
4) (Also saves the planet)

Human need, not corporate greed.

[California Environmental Justice Alliance @cejapower]

.@Janefonda & Darryl Molina Sarmiento w/ @CBECal are right. Oil and gas drilling should NOT be in our communities!

We need @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to make sure the setback rule applies to existing wells, not just new wells. https://t.co/JwznyHD3o5
