CA leading charge to reduce super pollutants! Methane emissions impact climate ~80x more than CO2. A satellite has helped CA ID & stop 10 large methane leaks at oil & gas facilities since May, with a climate benefit similar to removing ~18K cars a year. ww2.arb.ca.gov/news/califor...

Good news! From 2000-2023, CA's GHGs ⬇️ 21% while GDP ⬆️ 81%! 😀🌎🙌

Important work ahead to meet CA's 2030 emissions goal. More clean transportation and a more ambitious cap in CA's Cap & Invest program until 2030 are vital solutions for success.

Thank you, @governor.ca.gov, for standing strong for Californians and the right to breathe clean air.

This piece of legislation would have made it more difficult to shape clean air policies in Southern California, the nation's smog capital.

Lawmakers just sent our top priorities to @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social! CA is filling a leadership gap created by DC, staking out an ambitious future of collaboration to reduce climate-altering emissions and accelerate the transition to cheaper, cleaner energy. (1/3)

Down to the wire: California lawmakers announce last-minute climate and energy package Among the closely watched items are reauthorization of California’s signature cap-and-trade program and expansion of a regional electricity market.

YES ON AB 1207 & AB 825. Big challenges are not solved through isolation. As Washington digs in on policies fueling inflation & the climate crisis, CA must stake out a future of collaboration in climate action & the transition to cheaper, cleaner energy.
www.latimes.com/environment/...

Lawmakers must pass AB 825 for a more affordable, reliable clean electricity future. With CA leaders rightly focused on affordability, the choice on AB 825 is simple. CA is the innovation state & needs AB 825 to build a modern grid w/the West that cuts energy costs & pollution.

Growing a thriving economy & taking bold climate action can go hand-in-hand. Now, it is time to build on CA's success & pass AB 1207 to bolster cap & trade's power to cut climate pollution while keeping costs down for families. Our full statement here. www.edf.org/media/cap-an...
