.@CAgovernor did the right thing by vetoing four bills that would have delayed progress on cleaning our air, implementing our landmark vehicle standards, and protecting communities near ports and busy roadways. Now we can keep moving forward. legal-planet.org/2024/09/27/gov…

As climate change fuels more extreme weather and wildfires, #EVs can help us build energy reliability. Many thanks to @NancySkinnerCA, @GavinNewsom and our co-sponsors @climatecampaign and @NuvveCorp for moving California toward a more resilient future!

Boom! @GavinNewsom tonight greenlighted my #caleg #SB59, which is designed to ensure that electric vehicle owners can use their EV’s battery to power their homes and reduce energy bills. @climatecampaign sd09.senate.ca.gov/news/20240927-…

We met with @GavinNewsom today to help advance his proposal to fight back against the oil industry's efforts to manipulate the market and harm consumers with high gas prices as the state moves toward a zero-emission transportation future. gov.ca.gov/2024/09/20/spe…

Prop. 4 would move #CA away from throwing money at disaster response to investing in prevention, saving billions in future costs from wildfires, water shortages, and other climate hazards, writes Juliet Christian-Smith, director of @WestUCS. #YesOnProp4 blog.ucsusa.org/juliet-christi…

Gasoline consumption in California has dropped by over 2 billion gallons from its peak in 2005. Now we need a petroleum phaseout plan that will protect workers, communities and consumers. @dr_dave510 #EVs blog.ucsusa.org/dave-reichmuth…

@AsmPhilTing This bill responds to an @Greenlining and @UCSUSA report showing that pre-2004 vehicles represent fewer than one-fifth of the cars on California roads, but produce more nitrogen oxides and reactive organics gas emissions than all newer vehicles combined.

Thank you to @AsmPhilTing for championing our bill to focus clean vehicle incentives on replacing the oldest, dirtiest cars on the road!

My bill, #AB2401, targeting #EV rebates toward lower-income, high-mileage drivers, will now be considered by the Gov. We can make a bigger dent in reducing GHG emissions if we focus on gasoline “superusers” & help them switch to a clean car. More info: a19.asmdc.org/press-releases…

Great news! The CA Assembly today greenlighted my #CALeg #SB59 - which would accelerate the ability of electric vehicle owners to use their EV's battery to provide backup power to their homes. @climatecampaign Next stop, Senate Floor for final vote.

Passing the water and wildfire bond appearing on the November ballot as Proposition 4 is one solution to addressing the growing costs of extreme heat, drought and increasingly damaging wildfires in #CA, writes Juliet Christian-Smith, director of @WestUCS. blog.ucsusa.org/juliet-christi…
