The Kern County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a controversial ordinance Monday evening allowing the addition of more than 40,000 oil and gas wells over the next 15 years. The vote took place after supervisors heard 8 hours of public comments.
The majority of those comments were against the ordinance. Small farmers, environmental groups and residents in the county were among those opposing the ordinance.
Resident Daniel Ress said he’d read dozens of studies about the harmful effects of oil and gas drilling on people living nearby.
“My wife is pregnant and as an expectant parent I worry about increased gas and oil extraction in my community,” Ress said. “I worry about what that might do to my child both before and after they’re born.”
