With the second Trump administration in the White House, UCS’s Western States Director, Juliet Christian-Smith, describes the unique powers states have within the US federal system to drive change, highlighting California as an example. Read her blog: act.ucsusa.org/3ObfTC8
“The truth is people still trust scientists...when you go into a room filled with lobbyists reading off of their cell phones prepared bullet points with no understanding of the larger issues...your voice matters and it carries a lot of weight.” buzzsprout.com/1029865/episod…
.@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…
Listen as UCS’s @DrFernandezBou discusses with @radiobilingue how #CA Prop. 4 invests in a more resilient future by providing needed funding to address threats from climate change, esp in the most vulnerable and low-income communities. #YesOnProp4 act.ucsusa.org/3XBjhLb
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…
There are now 17 active wildfires in California, that have burned 596,847 acres of land and counting! As our climate changes, every fire season only gets more devastating. It's time for CA to protect the state we know and love! #YesonProp4
Take a look at our fire activity update for September 9, 2024! For more information on active statewide incidents, visit fire.ca.gov/incidents.
.@GavinNewsom has led the fight on pollution and the #climatecrisis by getting more #EVs on California roads. Now @CAgovernor can make the transition more equitable and sustainable by advancing a new era of policies just approved by the #CALeg. Here’s how: act.ucsusa.org/47gSOXA
Great news-- #CALeg passed #SB59 authorizing #California agencies to require classes of #EVs to have bidirectional charging capabilities-- good for our communities & our climate. Thank you @NancySkinnerCA & cosponsors @climatecampaign @UCSUSA @NuvveCorp sd09.senate.ca.gov/news/20240831-…
Thank you @NancySkinnerCA for being a climate leader!
Big thanks to @climatecampaign & @UCSUSA and the coalition of supporters of #SB59 !
The CA Legislature just passed an @UCSUSA sponsored bill that will help make EVs clean transportation AND clean energy solutions. Thank you to @NancySkinnerCA for her leadership and @climatecampaign for their partnership!
Beep, beep! The CA Senate today gave the final greenlight to my #CALeg 2024 Climate Package, including #SB59, which is designed to ensure that electric vehicle owners can use their EV’s battery to power their homes & cut energy bills. Next stop, gov's desk sd09.senate.ca.gov/news/20240831-…
@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…

Thank you to @NancySkinnerCA for her leadership on this important bill to make EVs part of our clean transportation AND clean energy future!
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…
