California Democrats try to stop fracking in the state

In a press conference earlier this month, California Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, expressed enthusiasm over fracking in the state and dismissed any notion of jumping on “ideological bandwagons” when considering the issue.

“We have 30 million vehicles in California,” Brown said. “That’s a lot of oil. So I think we have room to supply our need even as we reduce oil consumption. We should be reducing it much faster than we are, and hopefully we can get some national policies to do that, but that still doesn’t mean that in the meantime there isn’t oil under the ground in California that can’t be made very useful.”

“Whether it’s fracking, or whether it’s a low-carbon fuel standard, or anything else, we keep our eyes open and we’re not jumping on any ideological bandwagons,” Brown added.

The state’s governor, Jerry Brown, isn’t taking a stand either way.

"I don’t think any company wants to pollute the aquifer,” he said at a recent meeting of state business leaders, “because we have trial lawyers in California -- and a very vigorous tort system. So I think there’s a certain self-discipline that they can operate with the management of fracking issues."
