Helpful overview of what comes next from @joshgerstein.bsky.social and @kyledcheney.bsky.social at Politico. SCOTUS is apt to get pulled into the fray whether it wants to or not. But the “minimalist way would be to let this decision stand," says Brad Smith, FEC chair under GWB. /5

Our county has an ordinance that says any onshore facilities associated with state or federal offshore oil and gas development would be prohibited unless approved by a majority vote Santa Cruz County voters. This was approved by voters in 1986. Maybe others could do this.

(A) No permit, entitlement, lease, or other authorization of any kind within the County of Santa Cruz which would authorize or allow the development, construction, or installation of any onshore facility necessary for or intended to support offshore oil or gas exploration or development shall be granted unless such authorization is approved by a majority vote of the qualified electors of Santa Cruz County, in a general or special election. For the purpose of this chapter, the term "onshore facility" means any facility or land use of at least 20,000 square feet necessary for or intended to support offshore oil or gas exploration, or the development, production, storage, processing, or transportation of oil or gas resources, produced or developed offshore, or other activities related to the development of offshore oil or gas resources.
(B) When any person proposes to undertake the development within Santa Cruz County of any onshore energy facility related to the exploration or development of offshore oil or gas resources, and requests an amendment of the County's certified Local Coastal Program to facilitate such development, the local government determination required by Public Resources Code Section 30515 shall include a vote of the qualified electors of Santa Cruz County, in a general or special election, and no local government determination approving such an amendment shall be valid unless a majority of the electors voting in such election approve the amendment proposed. The Board of Supervisors of Santa Cruz County are hereby authorized and directed to enact any further ordinances or regulations necessary to give effect to this subsection, and specifically to require that the person seeking any such amendment to the County's certified Local Coastal Program pay all costs associated with the special or general election required herein.
