Sean Duffy Slams ‘Climate Alarmist’ Gavin Newsom
In a post on the social media platform X, Duffy shared a video, touting President Donald Trump‘s call to oil producers to “Drill baby drill,” as the Transportation Secretary shared the progress of Sable Offshore Corp‘s (NYSE:SOC) pipeline off the coast of Santa Barbara, California.
“Climate alarmist @GavinNewsom would rather Californians be dependent on foreign oil,” Duffy said in the post, accusing critics of “playing politics.” He then shared that the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) was “working overtime to ensure that the oil is flowing.”
The video showcased the oil rig’s production capabilities, sharing that the pipeline would deliver 60,000 barrels of oil every day to consumers in California.
