The City of San Francisco has taken a bold stand against profiting from climate disruption, passing legislation that prohibits the leasing of city-owned land for fossil fuel extraction.

The ordinance affects a major oil drilling area, owned by the city and operated by Chevron, in the heart of California. San Francisco wants to convert the oil fields into solar fields.
