Newsom Signs Bill Blocking $75 Million-Backed Oakland Coal Terminal

California last month signed legislation aimed at stopping an Oakland coal export terminal before it opens, despite the project having cleared environmental review and won years of litigation.
The move came after Trump backed the terminal with $75 million through the Defense Production Act, and Wyoming officials say Sacramento added a new environmental review specifically to stall coal exports.
More than $240 million in California taxpayer money and hundreds of millions overall have already gone into the site, which would have been the West Coast’s first coal export link for Wyoming miners.
Wyoming says it will pursue legal action, arguing California changed the rules after losing in court and is shutting its producers out of global markets through a taxpayer-funded port.
