California Governor orders end to fracking by 2024, instructs CARB to analyze pathways to phase out oil-production by 2045
California Governor Gavin Newsom has directed the Department of Conservation’s Geologic Energy Management (CalGEM) Division to initiate regulatory action to end the issuance of new permits for hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) by January 2024. Additionally, Governor Newsom requested that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) analyze pathways to phase out oil extraction across the state by no later than 2045.
Fracking is the most common type of well stimulation treatment (WST), but it is a relatively uncommon completion technique in California, responsible for about 2% of total in-state oil production. CalGEM will immediately initiate the rulemaking to halt the issuance of new hydraulic fracturing permits by 2024.

Republican California gubernatorial hopeful Caitlyn Jenner and Representative Ted Lieu, a California Democrat, engaged in a Twitter feud on Saturday evening, resulting in both accusing the other of being condescending.
Jenner, a prominent reality-TV star and former Olympic athlete, announced on Friday her campaign to challenge California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, in an expected special recall election later this year. The Republican contender solicited the help of personal friend Brad Parscale, who previously worked as former President Donald Trump s campaign manager, to help her assemble a campaign team. On Saturday, the GOP contender took aim at Newsom on Twitter by criticizing decisions made by district attorneys throughout the state.
