Governor Newsom nails it: Clean energy isn't killing California's economy. It's powering it.
While critics predicted economic ruin, we became the world's fourth-largest economy. Not despite clean energy. Because of it.
The right keeps claiming clean energy kills jobs and drives up costs. California's reality: 7x more clean energy jobs than fossil fuel jobs. We've proven cheaper, faster, better energy creates growth.
This isn't some California coastal fantasy. It's market validation on a massive scale. Coal or natural gas didn't die from regulation — they got too expensive. Clean energy won in the marketplace.
The fossil fuel industry has spent decades convincing people that environmental protection and economic growth are incompatible. California proved that's false.
The big question from here: is the rest of America ready to follow through and build the renewable and storage capacity that leads us into the future? Is California ready to fast-track permitting for even more storage and transmission?
China installed more solar last year than we have in 30 years. They're not doing this for environmental virtue — they're doing it because it's cheaper, faster, and better for economic competitiveness, national security, and affordability.
We can debate this forever, or we can build what we know works. Other countries aren't waiting.

This is horrible. This administration won’t rest until they have dismantled all environmental policies that protect the people and places where we live, learn, work, and pray. It's more important than ever to elect strong, proven leaders to the GA. Primary election 6/20. VOTE!
And in the newly redrawn, open, deep blue 92d district, @KimFor92 is running a grassroots campaign to win. She's got sterling climate hawk credentials: leads the local NAACP's climate/ enviro justice team among others.
.@KimFor92 is devoted to promoting environmental justice and being a champion for progressive issues.
That’s why we’re proud to endorse her for Virginia’s District 92 House Delegate!
@PriceForDel95 VA HD 92 is ready to elect @KimFor92.
Alongside her mother and aunt, Kim cleaned homes for several summers. The best way to serve the women of color care workers in Virginia is to understand their experiences first-hand, and that’s exactly what Kim Sudderth will do in office.
TY @VirginianPilot It's important to know that your community leaders will show up and speak out. Representation means taking a seat at the table to ensure our communities aren't on the menu. TY for your continued support, let's get to Richmond so we can all #GetToTheGoodPart
