Last night, the California Assembly worked overtime to secure passage of the largest climate bill in state (any state's) history. The bill will surely be signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, who has long pushed for
“The $54 billion, intended to be spent over five years, contains around $6 billion for electric vehicles and more than $8 billion to decarbonize the state’s electrical grid — which is still heavily reliant on natural gas. It also includes close to $15 billion to improve public transit, and over $5 billion for climate and drought resilience programs.”
With big victories like this, there are clear benefits to the state, in terms of investment in future-proofed industry jobs layered on top of the reduction of climate change and hopefully some relief to the long drought the Southwest US is facing. I was just kinda curious, so I went toto see how they’d spin this as a negative for Governor Newsom, one of their biggest boogeymen and punching bags . But I was genuinely curious how you could turn this story into a negative.
