California passes law to block Trump-era offshore drilling
Original: Can California stop Trump from drilling off its coast? A new law tries
California has enacted a new law aimed at preventing offshore oil drilling along its coast, a direct challenge to the Trump administration's push to expand drilling leases in federal waters. The measure tests the limits of state authority over coastal waters, where licensing decisions largely rest with the federal government, setting up a likely legal fight.
Why now: Tension between state environmental protections and federal energy expansion policy is a live political issue.
