California's Attorney General, Rob Bonta, has sued the Trump administration to prevent it from using a Cold War-era national emergency law to restart its offshore oil operation. The order, directed by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, violates the law and violates a judicial consent decree approved by the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California allowing the state to review and plan the restart of any onshore pipelines. The move has been met with criticism from environmental groups and experts who believe it will not help lower gas prices and put California's coastal wildlife at risk.
