Sable keeps up the fight for energy and lower oil prices

All Sable Offshore wants to do is produce reliable domestic oil in California.And to lower prices for California drivers.And to create jobs for California workers.And that’s why Democrats and bureaucrats (but we repeat ourselves) are trying to stop it.Sable has faced lawsuits from the state of California, and prosecution by Santa Barbara County.

Now it’s facing off against the Coastal Commission — the same agency that banned a fireworks display on the Fourth of July.The oil company reopened dormant platforms and a pipeline off the coast of Santa Barbara earlier this year, after President Donald Trump used his powers under the Defense Production Act to expand oil and gas production.After all, America is at war — and the US military depends on California’s oil supplies at West Coast air and naval bases.The nation’s economy also needs a reliable source of fuel, with Iran trying to restrict global supply.California's top news, sports and entertainment delivered to your inbox every day.

Never miss a story California is particularly vulnerable to Iranian pressure, because it gets so much of its oil from abroad.That’s by choice, not by necessity.The Golden State has black gold, too, in abundance.

We could supply our needs from local sources.But California politicians have decided that climate change is a more urgent problem than energy.So they have shut down production and driven oil companies to leave.Ironically, that means California has to import oil from dangerous places far away, burning fossil fuels as supertankers cross the ocean to keep the Californian economy afloat.
