The Trump administration is in active talks on creating a petroleum reserve in California, Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Politico on Friday. The move would boost California’s oil infrastructure in the state and undermine Governor Gavin Newsom’s bid to shrink the state’s fossil fuel footprint, Politico’s Noah Baustin and Ben Lefebvre report. A document that lawyers for Sable Offshore (SOC) sent to the Energy Department shows the company has proposed a West Coast Strategic Petroleum Reserve “in response to the inquiries made by the Trump administration and in the furtherance of Sable’s ongoing discussions with the Department of War for the supply of oil and gas to California,” according to the website.
