@airresources.bsky.social proposal released today to update Cap-and-Invest fails to do the bare minimum to meet CA’s pollution reduction targets for 2030. CARB must urgently fix its proposal so the Board can vote this spring on a viable framework. Our full statement. www.edf.org/media/cap-an...

@asmdamonconnolly.bsky.social + 13 lawmakers urge @airresources.bsky.social to strengthen Cap-&-Invest in new regulations, say #CALeg provided clear directive to reduce emissions, stabilize carbon market, protect CA from volatile energy costs & generate investment.

Here’s How Environmental Leadership Protects Californians from Price Spikes and Greedy Polluters What can other states learn from California's successes?

Here's the bottom line about Cap & Invest. It accounts for just 6% of gas prices - a small, stable & predictable cost that improves our lives while protecting our pocketbooks from volatile energy sources. More in this informative blog by @danielbarad.bsky.social.

A great evening last night celebrating the progress of CA's Multibenefit Land Repurposing Program!
✅5,000 acres in approved projects
✅Groundwater stability, habitat restoration & climate resilience
✅Benefiting disadvantaged communities

Fuel, energy prices raise the pressure as California officials take next steps on climate A plan to strengthen California's climate program faces pushback as industry groups and some lawmakers warn the changes could drive up already-high energy costs.

Cap-and-Invest impacts only about 6% of gas prices. @airresources.bsky.social must tighten the program's emissions cap & help reduce CA's dependence on the volatile oil industry by bolstering our transition to cheaper, cleaner energy. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Gas prices are soaring. What role does California's climate policy play? Oil industry leaders warn that an update to a state climate policy could add a dollar to the price of gasoline, though some accuse big oil of fearmongering.

Oil companies are trying to derail CA's most cost-effective climate policy & slow our transition to cheaper, cleaner energy. Don't believe the hype. They just want to protect billions of dollars in profits, not keep prices down for us. www.sfchronicle.com/climate/arti...

Great to see CA building partnerships to amplify the impact of our climate action! As the feds abandon all climate policy & fossil fuels raise energy costs, we must chart the path to a safe & prosperous future for all. www.edf.org/media/washin...

Here’s a peek at Newsom’s new EV incentives package for Californians The proposal would be limited to first-time buyers, but includes one-for-one matches between carmakers and the state.

After feds ended ZEV incentives, we are excited to see @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social's proposal. This will save families money, cut pollution, spur innovation & support the global competitiveness of our auto industry. Let's build on this vision for CA! www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/02/03/h...

@calenergy.bsky.social projects CA electricity use will ⬆️ up to 61% by 2045. By consolidating a Western electricity market through AB 825 implementation, CA can cut $1 billion a year in costs for families on a budget by ⬆️ access to cheaper, cleaner electricity. www.energy.ca.gov/filebrowser/...

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.
