Federal judge allows California oil pipeline operation
x/california-based
— Aug 20, 2026
A California Coast oil pipeline operated by Sable Offshore can continue pumping under a federal order, as a federal judge transferred oversight from state regulators to federal authorities and held that the Defense Production Act preempts conflicting state laws; Sable was also fined about $1.5 million for violating a consent decree. The decisions reflect ongoing federal intervention—led by the Trump administration—to restart or maintain oil output despite California's objections, tying the restart to federal authority and national-security justifications amid prior spill history.
