Just further evidence that leftoids are not only very stupid but also very dangerous.

And good jobs? Pffft! Become a politician.

And of course, they are playing the race card in this too.

Goodbye to the industry that helped build LA before Hollywood: City bans gas and oil wells bringing an end to 150 years of history when liquid gold rush helped grow town from just 50,000 people​

...​

​

The unanimous decision by the Council is the beginning of the end for oil wells and pumpjacks that to this day still operate throughout one of the world's largest urban oilfields in the US, but will be phased out in the coming years.​

​

...​

​

Representatives from oil and gas industry groups strongly oppose these types of measures, saying they would raise gas prices, eliminate jobs and make the region more dependent on foreign oil. ​

​

Rock Zierman, chief executive officer of the California Independent Petroleum Association representing nearly 400 oil and gas industry entities, said that the city's measure is illegal.​

​

'Taking someone's property without compensation, particularly one which is duly permitted and highly regulated, is illegal and violates the U.S. Constitution's 5th Amendment against illegal search and seizure,' he said in a statement.​

​

...​

​

Estimates from June 2020 by the Western States Petroleum Association stated that round 37,000 people are employed in Los Angeles county alone by the Oil and Gas industry.​

LA City bans new and existing gas and oil wells

The council directed the city attorney to draft an ordinance to prohibit oil and gas drilling in Los Angeles, change zoning laws to make drilling illegal and study how to legally phase out existing wells.

That ain't right. I could understand refusing to rezone to expand the area, but it is not right reclassify zones that have been productive, regulated business since 1892. I think there will be a Federal Civil suit on this one.

If only there was some way to direct the increased costs onto democrats only.

LOL....Good luck with all that CA.

The miniscule amount coming out of those fields will not effect global pricing by any stretch of the imagination. It just isn't right of those local politicians to make that move. I suspect somebody has designs on that 4 mile long strip of land and influence on the council. They can't condemn and force sale at fair market value and future value included, with the amount of production that is still being produced, as it would just be too damned expensive while it is going on.

The Green New Deal Is a Stacked Deck

As predicted in the movie about California's early oil industry, There Will Be Blood about this. Sooner or later, the Californians but built that state will have to remove the Liberals by any means necessary.
