Los Angeles County supervisors voted unanimously Wednesday to phase out oil and gas drilling and ban new drill sites in the unincorporated areas of the nation’s most populous county. Over 1,600 active and idle oil and gas wells in the county could be shuttered after the 5-0 vote by the board of supervisors. A timetable for the phaseout will be decided after the county determines the fastest way to legally shut down the wells. Among the sites is the Inglewood Oil Field, one of the largest U.S. urban oil fields. The sprawling, 1,000-acre (405-hectare) site, owned and operated by Sentinel Peak Resources, contains over half

They should phase out autos and all things made with plastics, and a million other things that these idiots have no idea come from oil and gas.

So, if you really want to make a statement, Sentinel Peak Resources should ban selling Oil and Gas to the county. Let them buy it elsewhere.

LOL! Up to 50000 feet of sediments. Infused with oil. That is the Los Angeles basin. These supervisors don't have a clue. La Brea tar pits prove some of that oil is very near the surface. The basin holds a huge amount of oil - it has been exploited going on 100 years - still does to this day, and as technology improves more of that oil can be easily exploited. But lets feel good about wonky science and fear in general. Fear lets you insist on countermeasures that you know nothing about. Good luck on yer drilling ban. In LA high heels can strike oil.

Since this is LA County, they might be surprised when gasoline imported from other areas is cheaper. Aside from that this is just another step in the suicide of California.

Los Angeles that twice a day commute for 3 hours a day (slow traffic) just became more expensive no more 'joy riding' on the weekends. Can't be wasting the ten dollars and upwards of that expensive gas. Who are the idiots that come up with these crazy and dangerous ideas? Time to buy that electric automobile I suppose.

According to article: "The measure that passed also called for residents, the oil companies and other stakeholders in the community to explore what else can be done with the privately owned land." WHATTT???? It's privately owned land, therefore, the only stakeholder is the land owner. The landowner gets to decide what is done with the property.

Nothing like putting a whole bunch of people in a city government, when none of those people can see beyond the immediate issue. That oil field does not pollute the air, there is no water that is contaminated, as the water from the wells is disposed in salt water disposal wells, and the people living near the oil field moved in knowing full well that the field existed before their homes were built. When the land is stolen from the company, and it is developed, and the city fathers all get their kickbacks, everyone will be happy, and they can say "See what we did for you," when in fact what they'll be doing is looking at the mirror and beaming with pride that they're as corrupt and dishonest as the politicians in Washington D.C. This whole thing is despicable.

Stunning helicopter footage shot Friday shows hundreds of illegal immigrants streaming into Texas from Mexico across the Rio Grande — with no intervention form authorities on either side of the border. One day after the Federal Aviation Administration prevented Fox News from using a drone to capture images of thousands of illegal immigrants sheltering under the Texas bridge, the outlet is now able to capture aerial footage from a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter. On Thursday, the FAA instituted a two-week flight restriction over the city of Del Rio

PARIS — French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Friday evening that France is immediately recalling its ambassadors to the U.S. and Australia in a backlash over a submarine deal. Le Drian said in a statement that the decision, on request from President Emmanuel Macron, “is justified by the exceptional seriousness of the announcements” made by Australia and the United States. He said the cancellation by Australia of a big contract to buy French conventional submarines in favor of nuclear-powered subs built with U.S. technology is “unacceptable behavior.”

An advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration on Friday recommended against approving a booster shot of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to most Americans. The scientific advisory committee voted 16-to-3 against recommending the additional shots, thwarting the Biden administration’s hopes that the FDA would approve the third shot in time to begin rolling out the extra dose for Pfizer recipients next week. The vote followed a daylong debate in which a number of the panel’s independent experts questioned whether the data justified a broad rollout of an additional shot to most Americans while the vaccines still appear to offer strong protection against severe COVID-19 disease and hospitalization.

An investigation by the US military has determined that an airstrike last month in Kabul killed up to 10 people, including an aid worker and seven children, a top Pentagon official said. General Kenneth McKenzie said no ISIS-K fighters — the supposed target of the drone strike — were killed. "I offer my profound condolences," McKenzie said. "It was a mistake and I offer my sincere apology." The military was initially operating "reasonable certainty at the time of the strike to designate the vehicle as an 'imminent threat,'"

That’s quite a cultural shift — and it will likely lead to a political shift as well, and not in favor of the current administration. Women accounted for almost half of all new gun owners in a 27-month period that includes the pandemic as well as the Democratic presidential primary run-up, according to a new study by researchers from Harvard and Northeastern. Clearly, the gun-control rhetoric of the campaign and in the Biden administration has not had its intended impact: Close to half of all new U.S. gun buyers since the beginning of 2019 have been women, a shift for a market

With all the arguments around the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, one issue that has fallen by the wayside is that of the debt ceiling. In order for Democrats to get what they want, it will have to be lifted, which means we are headed for another major shutdown battle in the coming weeks. Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary, recently called Sen. Mitch McConnell to lobby his support to raise the debt ceiling. But McConnell, perhaps sensing that he has nothing to gain by handing Democrats another victory, gave his response: Nah.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) will reportedly still not support Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion reconciliation package for the time being, despite the president’s efforts to persuade him, according to Axios. On Wednesday, sources told Axios that President Joe Biden reportedly hosted Manchin for a meeting at the White House where he failed to persuade the senator into agreeing with the $3.5 trillion bill. Axios was told Biden explained to Manchin his opposition could imperil the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill that’s already passed the Senate. Biden’s analysis did little to persuade Manchin to raise his top line. Manchin held his position and appears willing to let the bipartisan bill hang in the balance

A law enforcement source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tells Breitbart Texas that the unfolding Haitian migrant crisis is forcing the agency to shut down normal operations at all inland Del Rio Sector Border Patrol highway checkpoints. Staffing typically reserved for inspecting thousands of vehicles daily will be diverted to assist with the care, transport, and processing of 10,000 mostly Haitian migrants currently detained under the Del Rio International Bridge. According to the source not authorized to speak to the media, the shutdown will begin at 12 am local time on Friday and last until an orderly process to deal with the migrants at the makeshift camp is established.

In an apparent attempt to cover up the border crisis, the Biden administration has shut down Fox News’s ability to fly their drone over the U.S.-Mexico border to report on the border crisis, which swelled in August and again in the last 24-hours. On Thursday’s Special Report, national correspondent Bill Melugin showed the over 9,000-person crowd of illegals under the international bridge. But on Tucker Carlson Tonight, two hours later, he was forced to report that the FAA had issued a temporary flight restriction or TFR over the entire area. “Stunning footage out of Del Rio, Texas on Thursday.

The goal is 2045 for larger vehicles, such as medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses.
