The Los Angeles Metropolis Council voted unanimously on Friday to ban drilling of recent oil and fuel wells and part out present ones over the next 20 years.
The vote comes after greater than a decade of complaints from metropolis residents that air pollution drifting from wells was affecting their well being. Los Angeles was as soon as a booming oil city, however a lot of its oilfields at the moment are performed out.
