The oil & gas industry claims that establishing a setback from homes, schools, and hospitals 'will cost BILLIONS' -

*spoiler alert* They're wrong (and they know it).

Here's why:
🧵⬇️
1. The number the industry is throwing around is NOT the calculated cost of establishing a setback to protect public health and safety, but the cost of an immediate shutdown of the ENTIRE oil industry in Los Angeles.

2. California’s economic future - and job provider - is not the toxic oil & gas industry, but the growing #cleanenergy industry!

3. The cost savings from avoided health impacts - and cost benefits from new job creation through well movement, soil remediation, etc. - will likely far exceed any industry compliance costs with the implementation of setbacks.
