Congressman DeSaulnier Statement on Chevron’s Decision to Move Headquarters

"I am disappointed, but not surprised, to see Chevron's announcement that it will be leaving San Ramon. I have long been involved and advocated for California's renewable portfolio standard and climate goals to protect both public health and the environment, and for years I have encouraged Chevron to be a diverse energy company investing in clean renewable sources of energy as we in California have been responsibly transitioning away from climate destroying energy and towards clean energy that protects the climate and public health. Unfortunately, these efforts have been much less successful than I had hoped and, in many ways, Chevron left California years ago. I hope as Chevron relocates their corporate facilities, they will keep California's climate goals in mind. I've reached out to the city of San Ramon and I would be happy to work with Chevron, or any other company, in reaching these important energy goals and to continue to support its employees in Contra Costa County."
