California government officials declared they will block President Donald Trump’s plan to include a portion of the outer continental shelf (OCS) off the state’s coast in his proposal to expand offshore oil and gas exploration and production.
“It is certain that the state would not approve new pipelines or allow use of existing pipelines to transport oil from new leases onshore,” the commission wrote in a letter.

California wants wind and solar …while its proven that those solutions add to the fossil fuel use, and increase co2 emissions.
Solar and wind need back up power plants. Those are fast starting and have a low efficiency.
Just using high efficiency slow starting power plants uses less fossil fuel as wind+fast starting low efficiency back-up plants.
…in short: Its a scam.
