Ventura County, the 3rd largest oil-producing region in CA and the fastest-warming region in the contiguous U.S., now leads the US on the #CleanEnergy transition. @CleanPowerInfo

“The gas and livestock industries are some of the largest polluters, so this is a way for these companies to come up with persuasive narratives for why their business models can stay the same and still be consistent with climate action.” @RightToZeroCA

“We learned unambiguously that if you just take half the cars off the road, that cleans up the CO2 quite a lot, but CO2 doesn’t contribute to smog. It’s possible that with cars we’ll only be clean enough when we go all electric.” Prof. Ronald Cohen

“For years, gas stoves have been making our people sick.” @LaOpinionLA editorial re: dangers of gas pollution for CA Latinos, highlighting strong support for clean energy from Latino communities + backing #buildingelectrification. @GavinNewsom @CalEnergy

We never talk about the #mentalhealth consequences from climate-changed-fueled disasters. We should. #climatechaos #PTSD #climatechange

Research shows all-electric buildings reduce utility bills by replacing gas heating w/ heat pumps, & reduce health risks by replacing gas w/ induction stoves. They are also cheaper to build by replacing 2 sets of energy delivery infrastructure with one.

The levels of air pollution often generated from cooking with gas would be illegal outside- but they're allowed inside. The takeway? Switch to electric or induction cooking if you can.

"To many investors, backing an American oil company looks only slightly shrewder than stuffing cash in a blender...as [the] oil industry flails, its most valuable utility, @nexteraenergy...is already the world’s top generator of wind and solar."

"...Studies show 'renewable #naturalgas' – the fossil fuel industry term for biogas produced from organic material like crops or animal manure – is limited, expensive, environmentally risky, and a potential #environmentaljustice disaster." @LCJandA

In partnership w/ @AirResources, @SDGE + other CA utilities are offering a $1,500 instant price reduction for the sale/lease of any eligible new battery electric or plug-in hybrid car from participating retailers.

"So for a child, it matters where you live. It matters how much foul air you breathe in on days when there are no fires at all. It matters whether your family can afford an air purifier at home or whether they can whisk you away when ash rains down."

California, known for its ambitious vehicle emissions standards and net-zero energy #buildingcodes, took the top spot in the 2020 Energy Efficiency Scorecard. @ACEEEdc #EEScorecard

The US gas system has a major problem: it leaks—from wellhead to home. #TheGasIndex from @GlobalEnergyMon ranks cities by how leaky their gas supplies are. In #SanDiego, replacing gas furnaces w electric heat pumps would cut emissions by 86-95%!

Five years ago, gas plumed from the Aliso Canyon storage facility - making Porter Ranch families sick. @SoCalGas knew what was happening, yet they failed to act. @GavinNewsom must #ShutAlisoDown and put families first.

“We ought to get up on the rooftops and shout about it,” says Dr. T. Stephen Jones, a retired @CDCgov physician and epidemiologist.

You're cooking more these days- right? We all are during this crisis. Here's how to keep your indoor air quality safe and do your part on climate change by shifting to electric or induction cooking. #BuildingElectrification

"In most places in the world, power from new #renewables is now cheaper than power from new #fossilfuels."

#PublicTransit is the backbone of our communities - and a key strategy to keep air pollution low in our neighborhoods. We can't let it wither away.

Their report in @TheLancet calls on lawmakers to stem the rise of climate pollution- in the next 5 years. They point out the #publichealth risks of #climatechange are already happening now. #ActOnClimate

Clean energy, and #CleanJobs, will lead the way.
