If you've ever driven an EV and couldn't find a charging station, consider what happens when local gas stations close before everyone is off fossil fuels. What will it take to train, hire & keep the skilled workers who will keep an old oil refinery going until the last customer is gone?

California passes bill curbing utilities use of ratepayer money for political spending State lawmakers last week made California the seventh state to pass a bill limiting investor-owned utilities from using customer money to pay for political and lobbying costs.

Governor Newsom has a bill on his desk to hold utilities accountable, and get them to stop passing along their dark money campaigns to everyday Californians.

Is he going to side with utilities, or side with the public and help lower electricity rates?

Contact the Governor | Governor of California You can contact the Governor a few different ways. The best way is through his online form.

Reminder that @governor.ca.gov is reportedly considering vetoing SB79, the best housing bill to clear the CA legislature in decades.

It would be a *disaster*, substantively & for Newsom's political future. Really hope he doesn't self-immolate.

Tell him!

Can Progressive Mayors Redeem the Democratic Party? Zohran Mamdani isn’t the only candidate challenging the status quoβ€”and having fun doing it.

I am deeply grateful for Bill McKibben's continuous and pragmatic optimism about what the future could be.

Major news in California: SB 79 bill, which would upzone substantially around transit, has passed the assembly.

Bill would enable up to 9 stories nearest to high-frequency transit, w/ small IZ requirement. It would enable transit agencies to develop their land.

It sure looks like every last major tech firm is abandoning past commitments to end their use of fossil fuels. Particularly concerning given how we know that fossil fuel burning power plants are being built NOW with the explicit aim of powering data centers

Incredible upset! Arsenal defeats Barcelona 1-0 to deny Barcelona a #UWCL three-peat. Arsenal are champions of Europe for the second time, first since 2007. It's the first team not named Barcelona or Lyon to win UWCL in 10 years.
