Newsom proposal would ease process for oil drilling permitting Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing a bill to streamline permitting for new oil wells. It's a proposal that environmental groups say would wipe out scrutiny of the industry.

“I think the governor clearly wants to see new oil drilling in Kern County specifically, and he wants to override the existing environmental process in order to do that.” -Bill Magavern, Policy Director

Regulators seek to phase out gas-powered appliances in Southern California The South Coast Air Quality Management District is poised to vote on regulations that would limit emissions of nitrogen oxides — the key pollutants that form smog.

“The fact is that if you are going to continue choosing to use polluting technology, there are going to be public health impacts.” -Chris Chavez, CCA Deputy Policy Director

Clean air is on the line.

The AQMD Board votes this Friday on rules that will cut deadly pollution from gas heaters and water heaters. The fossil fuel industry is fighting back hard—we need your voice now.

Tell the Board: Support Rules 1111 & 1121.

New research shows that cities embracing remote work have kept emissions flat, while return-to-office policies are driving pollution back up. Let’s treat flexible work as a climate solution, not a perk.
