California AG Filed Comments Outlining Potential Harms of Offshore Drilling
MARCH 9, 2018
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra filed comments with the Interior Department detailing “the plethora of reasons why opening California’s coasts to new offshore drilling would be unjustified, unprecedented, and ill-advised. California is home to approximately 1,100 miles of world-renowned coastline, and Attorney General Becerra underscores that he is prepared to do what is necessary to protect every single one of those 1,100 miles, including going to court.”
