Kamala Harris – Oil & Gas Industry
Kamala Harris has a strong stance against the oil and gas industry, often considered even tougher than President Biden’s. As California’s Attorney General, Harris took significant actions against fossil fuel companies, filing numerous lawsuits targeting utilities and oil companies for environmental violations. She pursued cases against companies like Southern California Gas Co. for methane leaks and secured multimillion-dollar settlements with major corporations, including BP, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips, for issues related to leaking underground storage tanks (Energy Connects) (Yahoo).
Harris has been a vocal advocate for treating climate change as a critical emergency, supporting comprehensive legislation like the Green New Deal in the Senate, which aims to transition the U.S. to emission-free power and overhaul the nation’s transportation systems. She has also focused on environmental justice, co-sponsoring bills with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to assess the impact of legislation on low-income and frontline communities most affected by pollution (Energy Connects).
In her campaign, Harris has emphasized increasing penalties for companies that violate environmental laws and has shown a commitment to holding polluters accountable. This approach reflects her broader agenda to prioritize public health and enforce stricter regulations on the oil and gas industry (Yahoo).
