'If you don't believe in science, you have to believe you're own eyes.' In Vallejo, Gov. Gavin Newsom signs sweeping new legislation to fight climate change and boost clean energy in California.
Newsom said the legislation and California's overall commitment to clean energy is expected to create 4 million new jobs, cut air pollution by 60% and save California $23 billion by avoiding the damages of pollution.
Newsom's action comes a week after he signed Senate Bill 852 into law. It's known as the Resilience Finance Law, and its goal is to respond to the effects of climate change such as wildfires, sea level rise and extreme temperatures. The law allows cities, counties and special districts to establish financing districts that can raise revenue through taxes, property benefit assessments or fees.
The governor also was recently on CNBC addressing the state’s electricity demand during a historic heat wave. He said the state prevented rolling blackouts in part due to clean energy’s contribution to the power grid. Demand for electricity peaked at a near record 52,000 megawatts. Clean energy, according to Newsom, put 4,000 megawatts on the grid.This article tagged under:
