"The Bureau of Land Management is planning to drill and frack around 850,000 acres across central California, including 76 acres in the Irish Hills, threatening ecosystems and public health."
"Sable Offshore Corporation has been trying to restart operations since purchasing aging infrastructure from ExxonMobil in 2024, despite several required state permits being pending or in litigation."
"The attacks on public lands from this administration have been endless, ruthless and unscrupulously focused on profit above all else, impacting communities fighting against the oil and gas industry."
The Irish Hills in central California, known for their natural beauty, face significant threats from planned drilling and fracking on 850,000 acres. This includes 76 acres in the Irish Hills and other sensitive areas, such as near schools and state parks. The Trump administration has also exempted Sable Offshore Corporation from state laws to restart oil operations in the Santa Barbara Channel, despite ongoing legal challenges. These actions reflect a broader trend of prioritizing profit over environmental and public health concerns in the region.
