Absolutely. A good day for clean energy and proof that state and local action matters so much!

GOOD NEWS: California lawmakers voted YES on #AB1777 in the Asm Nat. Resources Committee.

As always, we're grateful to partner with @chesapeakeclimate.bsky.social and @sierraclub.org on this important work.
