California Governor Gavin Newsom has shot down President Donald Trump's plan to resume oil drilling off the state's coast, labeling it "dead on arrival." The proposal aims to boost domestic oil production and deliver low fuel prices, but Newsom sees it as a threat to California's environment.
While Florida has been excluded from the drilling plan, Newsom argues that this decision says everything about Trump's priorities. In contrast, the Democratic governor emphasizes the importance of combating climate change. "We're not going to let you just roll over and give up on America's future," Newsom said in a statement.
Newsom plans to sue if the plan is finalized. He believes it would be a huge mistake for the US to abandon its efforts to combat global warming. As part of his energy policy, Trump has declared a national emergency and cut federal funding for renewable energy projects.
In Brazil, where Newsom is attending climate talks, he met with world leaders who are pushing for urgent action on climate change. He criticized Trump's move as "dumb" and "doubling down on stupid." The US absence from the COP30 climate summit has sparked criticism from environmentalists worldwide.
Trump himself has vowed to unleash more domestic fossil fuel production, describing it as a national priority. His administration is set to release its draft plan for oil drilling off California's coast in the coming weeks.

. Newsom is totally right, we need to take care of our planet before it's too late 
. I'm so glad he's not backing down from this one - he's like, actually looking out for America's future, you know? 
Unlike Trump who's just all about the benjamins 
. California's coastline is like, super important and delicate, and we can't just drill away without thinking about the consequences 
. And btw, what's up with this national emergency thing - does that even make sense? 
. I'm low-key rooting for Newsom to sue if Trump goes through with this plan 
.
And now Newsom's planning to sue him... that's some drama right there 
. He should just talk to Trump about it instead of going the whole "I'm gonna be his enemy" route, you feel? 
Meanwhile, I'm over here like "can't we all just get along and save the planet?" 
! We gotta do something about climate change, you know? It's like, we can't just keep drilling and polluting our planet until it's all gone. I'm so sick of politicians being all divided on this stuff 
, and Newsom is the only one standing up for California's future. I mean, have you seen those wildfires in LA lately? It's devastating 
. We need to take action, not just sit around talking about it 
. And what's with Trump cutting funding for renewable energy projects? That's like, so backwards thinking 
. our planet is literally burning as it is, we can't just "double down" on fossil fuels and expect everything to be ok 
.

i'm not surprised the dems are opposing this move tho, they're all about saving the planet. anyway, newsom's gonna take trump to court if this plan goes through which is a good thing imo 
it's not just about california, it's about the whole country and the planet too 
Newsom being bold and suing if this plan goes through is so admirable 
we need more politicians like him who actually care about saving the planet 
, what's with this Trump guy and his love for oil? Can't he see how bad it's gonna be for our planet? 
Now we're finally realizing how serious this is! As for Newsom, dude's got his priorities straight. I remember when my parents used to talk about how important it was to conserve energy and reduce pollution. They even recycled before it was cool 
. Anyway, Trump's just like a stubborn old man who refuses to listen... 
.
. It's a tough call, but it's worth having an open discussion about what's truly important for America's future - is it low fuel prices or saving our planet? 
Anyway, I was reading about this drought in Australia and it's so sad. All the animals are dying because of the lack of water. I feel so bad for them 
newsom ain't gonna let him drill all over the state and mess up the environment like that 
florida might not be on the table but it's still a big no from us west coasters 
climate change is real deal folks and trump should start taking it more serious than just saying it's "dumb" 
. We need to be working together, not against each other
