@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. connolly.asmdc.org/press-releas...

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. blog.ucs.org/daniel-barad...

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...

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.
