California Climate Plan Calls for All-Electric New Homes

A pumpjack extracts crude oil from active oil wells at the Synergy Oil Field on the Los Cerritos Wetlands in Seal Beach, California, U.S., on Saturday, April 23, 2022.

Still, state officials said the document represents an important step for California and the rest of the nation. California is the nation’s most populous state and has the world’s fifth largest economy compared to other nations. That economic power means the state’s policy choices can drive major business changes, and other states often follow California’s lead on climate policy.

“At a time when we need to be planning for a phaseout of fossil fuels, our top air regulators are instead planning for a massive expansion of dirty gas-fired power plants,” Ari Eisenstadt, campaign manager for Regenerate California, said in a statement. The group is a partnership between the California Environmental Justice Alliance and the Sierra Club that advocates for clean energy.

Changing how buildings and means of transportation are powered is at the center of the air board’s plan. It suggests the state require all new homes to have electric appliances starting in 2026 and new businesses by 2029. For existing homes, 80% of appliance sales should be electric by 2030 and 100% by 2035. That would help ensure older homes transition to electric-powered appliances when owners need to upgrade.

California’s 2045 carbon neutrality goal stems from an executive order then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed in 2018. But the air board has been required to release a roadmap for achieving the state’s climate goals every five years since 2008.

Lol. We can’t even keep the lights on.

lies

“We have a massive housing shortage crises in California.” “Let’s make more housing restrictions.”

Won't be long before they start mandating EVs. There is no freedom anymore in America, where we can't even pollute anymore without being canceled by the left.

South Korea’s new president offers North economic plan in return for denuclearisationElected in a tight contest in March, Yoon Suk-yeol proposes ‘audacious’ plan for Pyongyang at his inauguration in Seoul If NK was stupid enough to denuclearise it would have the US sailing up and down its coast issuing threats 5 minutes later. This is a great (if somewhat hopeful) proposal. More small moves in this direction could really move relations forward. This would be far more constructive than decades of mutual antagonism have been.
