The process creates or enlarges fractures in the rocks containing oil and natural gas, allowing fluids to flow more freely into a wellbore to increase production. Some progressive environmentalists claim fracking negatively impacts air and water quality, public health, and can cause seismic events.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"11.436241610738\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: California is now the first state to declare an end to oil extraction in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we&#8217;re announcing that we will phase out all oil extraction \u2014 as part of a world-leading effort to achieve carbon neutrality \u2014 and ban fracking by 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GavinNewsom\/status\/1385671067147005953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Newsom directed the Department of Conservation\u2019s Geologic Energy Management Division to stop issuing new fracking permits by 2024 and asked the California Air Resources Board to analyze pathways to halt all oil and gas drilling by 2045.<\/p>\n<p>As the Los Angeles Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2021-04-23\/gavin-newsom-executive-limit-fracking-california\">reported<\/a>, \u201cNewsom\u2019s announcement comes as a recall campaign against him appears close to qualifying for the ballot and is a reversal from the governor\u2019s previous statements that he lacked the executive authority to ban hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking.\u201d According to the outlet, \u201cNewsom recently decided to use the state\u2019s environmental regulatory authority after efforts to pass the ban legislatively failed, an administration spokesperson said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly the governor\u2019s policy folks will insist we shouldn\u2019t view this through a political lens,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/johnmyers\/status\/1385672451372163073\">tweeted<\/a> John Myers, the Sacramento bureau chief for the L.A. Times. \u201cAnd yet, there\u2019s a tremendous political element to how it\u2019s received. Early reaction from trade unions is not positive and they represent a notable voice in the Dem Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times quoted several union leaders who spoke out against Newsom\u2019s directive, saying the move would cost thousands of well-paying jobs and harm local economies in rural oil-producing parts of the state.<\/p>\n<p>John Spaulding is the executive secretary of the Building and Construction Trades Council for Kern, Inyo, and Mono counties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery student, every firefighter and every resident of Kern County will be hurt by the governor\u2019s political announcement today,\u201d he said on Friday. \u201cWe will work to oppose this effort for our membership, their families, our schools and our future.
