(Full post) After years of calling on the California Air Resources Board to properly evaluate the impacts of biofuels on refinery communities, and the importance of incentivizing electrification – CBE is suing the California Air Resources Board for failing to evaluate the impacts of a program that incentivizes polluting biofuels. More to come as this develops…
(Full post) The Port of Long Beach approved a project that is reckless and contradicts the goals of the state, the city, and the port itself to transition away from fossil fuels. Instead of protecting vulnerable communities, the City Council and mayor are allowing polluters to continue harming them with industrial pollution. CBE is suing the City of LB for their approval of yet another unnecessary crude oil project that fails to adequately assess cumulative environmental harms. More to come as this develops…
📣CALL TO ACTION: Tell LADWP No Hydrogen Combustion in LA! LADWP plans to burn a mix of gas and hydrogen at the Scattergood Power Plant in El Segundo: a risky, expensive, and harmful project that:

(Full post) 🎉 Today (9/25/2024), CA Governor, Gavin Newsom, officially signed AB 1866, AB 3233, and AB 2716 into law!
These bills will hold the oil industry accountable and protect frontline communities like Wilmington and many others across California from dangerous pollution. No one should have to live next to oil drilling operations- active or idle!
📌 What these bills will do:
1️⃣AB 1866: Pushes oil companies to plug idle wells faster or face increased fees, safeguarding public health and creating thousands of new jobs. 2️⃣AB 3233: Empowers local governments to defend residents from harmful oil and gas pollution. 3️⃣AB 2716: Imposes fines on low-production wells, holding polluters accountable in the largest urban oil field in the country.
Thank you to the all of our allies who continue to push for a CA that will be better for future generations, free of neighborhood oil drilling! Y’all did this!!
