Show Notes

Californias Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging an order to restart offshore oil operations near Santa Barbara. The suit targets a directive from Energy Secretary Chris Wright, which ordered Sable Offshore Corp. to pump oil through a pipeline system shut down since a major spill nearly a decade ago. The pipeline, part of the Santa Ynez Unit, was closed after a burst in 2015 released over 100,000 gallons of crude oil near Refugio State Beach. State officials argue the restart violates California law and a prior federal court order, calling it an overreach into state authority. The lawsuit highlights deepening tensions over energy policy and federal power, with California pushing back hard as the case moves forward in San Francisco federal court.
