Oil flows again through controversial California pipeline after Trump order
AI Summary
Oil is flowing again through the Santa Ynez pipeline in California after a Trump administration order, despite opposition from state officials. The pipeline, owned by Sable Offshore Corporation, had been shut down since 2015 following a major oil spill. Sable had been unable to secure permits from California regulators to restart operations. However, citing energy needs amid the war on Iran, Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to override state regulations and reopen the pipeline. The Trump administration stated the move was necessary for national security and to ensure reliable energy for West Coast military installations. California Governor Gavin Newsom has condemned the reopening and threatened legal action against the Trump administration and Sable.
