Svmuu News U.S. Energy Secretary Wright took action on Friday to counter two major "adversaries" of the Trump administration: oil supply disruptions caused by the Iran war and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Wright issued an order clearing the way for a company operating near the California coast to restart an oil pipeline that had been shut down by state officials since 2015. The Department of Energy characterized this move as a way to reduce dependence on oil imports passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The Department of Energy wrote in its announcement: "Today, over 60% of the oil used by California refineries comes from overseas, with a significant portion transported via the Strait of Hormuz—posing a serious national security threat." Wright stated in a declaration that this action will "strengthen U.S. oil supply and restore a pipeline system critical to our national security and defense, ensuring that military facilities on the West Coast have reliable energy crucial to combat readiness."
