A California judge has ruled that an oil pipeline off the coast of Santa Barbara can continue to operate. This decision comes despite opposition from state regulators and environmental groups. The pipeline resumed operations earlier this year after being closed for over a decade due to a significant oil spill in 2015. The reopening was ordered by former President Donald Trump, who cited U.S. energy needs during the war in Iran. The pipeline's operations are subject to a federal consent decree.
