Neighborhood Oil Drilling
Sierra Club’s Clean Break Committee is involved in multiple efforts to end our fossil fuel economy and justly transition to 100% clean, renewable energy.
We have 3 main demands around ending the extraction of fossil fuels in CA:
- Phase-out of existing oil and gas production in line with the Paris climate goals, with a just and equitable transition that protects workers, communities, and economies.
- Protect Setbacks – in 2023 the State passed a historic win to ban new oil drilling within 3200 feet of homes, schools, hospitals, and other sensitive locations. We are working to make sure that that these much-needed health protection laws are implemented!
- Lead by issuing no new permits for oil and gas extraction, fossil fuel infrastructure, or petrochemical projects in California.
