Historically, Republicans in the area tend to take more moderate positions on environmental policy than in other parts of the country — this isn’t the “Drill, baby, drill” crowd.
that closed beaches on the northern tip of the district. The coastal midpoint of the district is studded by the decommissioned domes of the San Onofre nuclear power plant, where radioactive spent fuel rods are buried indefinitely because there is no federal repository for such waste.
California’s gas prices have long been higher than the rest of the nation because of state taxes and fees. UC Berkeley economist Severin Borenstein partially attributes the recent price increases to some refineries that make the special blend of fuel that meets the state’s environmental standards being taken offline for maintenance, as well as one having an unplanned outage.
In the 49th District, where Democrats have a scant 2.9% voter registration edge and more than $6.5 million in television advertising has been reserved between now and election day, incumbent Democratic Rep. Mike Levin recognizes this dynamic. “How we wean ourselves off of that is not to double down on the dirty-energy policies of the past. It’s not to spread misinformation or disinformation about the transition to cleaner energy, but it’s to actually embrace a more sustainable future,” said Levin, who voted for the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention ActThe first general-election ad aired by Levin highlighted his work to clean up radioactive waste at San Onofre.
Elmore said she hoped Maryott, a former Wells Fargo executive, would help Congress reduce spending. And she was confident the nation’s environmental standards would keep the coast safe. “We are the United States. We work cleaner than most countries across the world,” Elmore said.

Oil and gas exploration and development in the Lake Eyre Basin: distribution and consequences for rivers and wetlands, including the Coongie Lakes Ramsar SiteContext Altered flooding regimes and pollution threaten the world’s wetlands, including floodplains of the largely free-flowing rivers.Aims We investigated the distribution of current and future oil and gas production and exploration on the floodplains of the Lake Eyre Basin.Methods We compiled these data and their associated infrastructure across the basin floodplains, including the Coongie Lakes Ramsar Site.Key results There were 831 oil and gas wells across the Lake Eyre Basin, predominantly (98.6%) on Cooper Creek floodplains, with 296 wells in the Coongie Lakes Ramsar Site, with 281 well pads, roads (870km) and 440 storages. Only eight referrals occurred under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, despite potential Ramsar wetland impacts. Future oil and gas production licences, primarily unconventional gas production, covered ∼2.91×106ha (Cooper Creek), 0.63×106ha (Diamantina) and 1.03×106ha (Georgina) of the floodplains.Conclusions and implications Oil and gas production and exploration disrupt flooding regimes, with pollution (spills and greenhouse gas emissions). Little rigorous environmental assessment existed to protect the Lake Eyre Basin rivers and Coongie Lakes Ramsar Site, despite state and Commonwealth legislation and policy for protection, which remain largely ineffective in controlling oil and gas development on this free-flowing river.
