California's environmental advocates have achieved a monumental victory! Big Oil has withdrawn its attempt to overturn Senate Bill 1137, clearing the way for the bill’s implementation. SB 1137 safeguards neighborhoods from toxic drilling and was a major target of the oil industry, making recent events a victory for coalition building and the fight for climate justice, for reducing fossil fuel extraction, and for putting the interests of public health before corporate greed. And, with big oil polluting the environment and tainting state politics for decades, is this week’s victory just one more battle of a long war, or does it herald big oil’s fading dominance?
