San Francisco’s once-busy Port hasn’t handled fossil fuels — like coal and crude oil — since the 1960s. And if environmentalists have their way, the Port of San Francisco will never see a fossil fuel again.
The City’s Environment Commission passed a resolution Thursday urging the Port to close its docks to the future possibility of carrying fossil fuels.
The effort is mostly symbolic, as San Francisco’s port handles a tiny amount of cargo compared to the Port of Oakland and the Port of Stockton.
