california oil pipelines coast sable trump lawsuit.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta is suing the Trump administration for approving an oil company’s plans to restart two oil pipelines along the state’s coast. Bonta says the federal government unlawfully approved Sable Offshore Corp.’s plans because California has authority over the pipelines that run through Santa Barbara and Kern counties. The Trump administration did not immediately respond for comment. The lawsuit escalates a fight over the president’s efforts to boost U.S. fossil fuel production. It comes after the federal government announced plans for new oil drilling off the California and Florida coasts.
