How long will it be before BP and Shell follow suit, and leave the UK?
One of America’s biggest oil companies is to abandon its headquarters in California amid a backlash against “harsh” green policies.
Chevron on Friday said it would relocate to Houston, Texas, breaking a historic association with the Golden State that stretches back to the 1870s.
Chevron’s decision follows repeated warnings from bosses that stringent environmental regulations and other moves by the Californian government had made doing business there too difficult.
It is the latest oil company to walk away from the state, while other employers such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX have also relocated following rows with state authorities about new legislation.
