Dan Bacher | indybay.org | 2020-04-21

"It's clear that it's time to sunset fossil fuels and effect a just transition to a new energy economy. We should end fracking right now and phase out oil and gas production in the state in a rational, managed way. We should not be issuing new permits for oil and gas drilling."
