Cheers to the passage of CA #SB222 (now moves to the Assembly). The #HeatPumpAccessAct enables faster, easier, more affordable heat pump installations. Clean energy is cheap, resilient energy. Heat pumps are the future, 3-5x more efficient than natural gas or oil systems. bit.ly/4qNArSG

Unions block California bill to sue Big Oil for climate damage Sen. Scott Wiener's bill failed after construction trade unions - major Democratic donors - convinced lawmakers to kill the legislation.

calmatters.org/politics/202... Ca bldg trades say legislation to hold oil companies accountable ( #SB222 )will cost will and jobs. The problem is #ClimateChange is costing $ & jobs now & more ahead. Reinsurance giant @allianz-meer.bsky.social says climate change on track to destroy world economy.

Relief from California's insurance affordability crisis - Capitol Weekly OPINION - With climate science settled, Big Oil spreads a new lie to keep its profits rolling in – that climate action is an expensive luxury Californians can’t afford. That’s rich.

"Big Oil has ruthlessly profited while exposing our homes, jobs, and lives to more frequent and destructive wildfires, extreme heat, drought, and floods. These are unnatural disasters... They are Big Oil’s legacy, and it’s time for Big Oil to pay its fair share." #sb222 #sb684 #makepolluterspay

Big Oil ignored the risks of wildfires fueled by their emissions. Californians now face losses and soaring insurance costs. #SB222 offers a solution: holding oil companies responsible for the damage they caused.

A radical bill by a California Democrat, #SB222, could raise gas prices by 63%, electricity rates by 31% and average household costs by $6,200 per year.

@asmrepublicans.bsky.social are working to bring down the cost of living so ordinary Californians can thrive in this state.

Insurance holders across California are expected to pay $841, while Big Oil pays $0 for the disasters THEY’VE caused.

How does that make sense?

California leaders face a choice today:

Protect people or polluter profits— tell the Senate Judiciary Committee to vote YES on #SB222

"These disasters are happening with more frequency. It's not even a question. These giant oil and gas companies, it's exactly what they predicted was going to happen." - Moira, @weathersurvivors.bsky.social

California must pass #sb222 to #makepolluterspay for the disasters they knowingly caused.

California policyholders shouldn’t have to cover the costs of damages from climate disasters that Big Oil knowingly caused. ❌👎😠

While Big Oil raked in profits, they ignored the risks of wildfires fueled by their emissions. Californians now face devastating losses and soaring insurance costs.

🛢 Big Oil knew burning fossil fuels
would fuel extreme wildfires —
they lied, and Californians are
paying the price.
Now, homeowners are paying
more for the damage big oil
caused.
#SB222 will keep insurance
affordable by holding Big Oil
accountable.

Vote Yes on SB222

Fossil fuel corporations are fueling the climate crisis and padding their bottom line while Californians are paying with their communities, health, and lives. CA must support #SB222 to #MakePollutersPay for decades of climate damages and denial #CALeg

While people pay for the climate crisis w their health & their lives, Big Oil & Gas reap BILLIONS in profit. 🏭

Corporations should pay up for the destruction and the disasters -- not taxpayers.

California has a chance to #MakePollutersPay!
