Exxon Denied Use of Tanker Trucks in California

A judge in Los Angeles has upheld a decision by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to deny Exxon the right to use tanker trucks to transport crude oil from offshore platforms to refineries. The decision comes after a pipeline rupture in 2015, which caused a significant spill and led to the suspension of the pipeline. Exxon argued that tanker trucks were necessary to restart production, but the judge ruled that the company had no vested or fundamental right to use them. Environmentalist organizations welcomed the ruling, while the court will further examine Exxon's claims of unconstitutional property taking.

"US Judge Upholds Denial of Exxon Permit to Transport Crude Oil in California"

A U.S. judge has rejected Exxon Mobil's request to overturn a California county's decision to deny the company a permit to use tanker trucks for transporting crude oil from coastal facilities to inland refineries. The judge ruled that the county's denial was supported by evidence of safety concerns on state highways. Exxon had argued that it needed to use tanker trucks until a ruptured pipeline, which caused a major oil spill in 2015, could be replaced. Environmental groups applauded the decision, while Exxon's claims of unconstitutional taking of property will be considered in the next phase of the court proceedings.
