I commend @AGRobBonta for holding plastic bag producers accountable for false recycling claims. Californians deserve to know that products labeled as recyclable truly are. The state must keep acting to curb the scourge of plastic waste. I’m proud that my bill #SB1053 will ban plastic bags at grocery store checkout next year.
I'm looking hard, but I can't find any days (let alone weeks) without any sunlight, any days w/o any wind, any days w/o any hydro, or any days w/o any geothermal
Same with last year, the year before, etc.
And no-one drilled for the wind, water, or solar
So unreliable, this WWS
As China adopts Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), will the U.S. be next?
VPPs digitally connect assets like EV chargers, smart thermostats, and batteries to support the grid. This provides reliable, clean power at a fraction of the cost of traditional plants.
With grid stress rising from electrification, VPPs are a faster, cleaner, and more scalable solution. The technology exists; we now need fair markets, open standards, and consumer-first models to unlock their potential.
50 years ago, American homes were energy hogs -- full of inefficient appliances, leaky windows and poorly insulated walls.
Today, thanks to efficiency standards and incentives, we're using less energy - and reaping huge benefits. Here's how: 🧵

Please put people ahead of #PFAS@CAGovernor@GavinNewsom. @andrewsimmern is right: we don’t need to poison our friends and neighbors to have non-stick pans.

AB 44, 740, & 1408 can tackle ratepayer costs using clean energy! Together, these bills will:
⚡ Maximize existing energy infrastructure
💡 Expand virtual power plants
💪 Create a more resilient & efficient grid
@CAgovernor let’s get these bills signed!
Newsom: “California is leading the world 15 GW solar storage in last 6 years, 30GW #CleanEnergy in last 6 years, bipartisan action for #RenewablesRising
Today is #worldozoneday2025 So grateful world leaders came together 40 years ago to save life as we know it on planet earth. Dropping this incredibly powerful visualization from @NASA https://t.co/5cVaIvHUeu
A big thank you @ASM_Irwin + her amazing staff. AB1408 to @CAgovernor desk. This bill ensures that we use our existing grid more efficiently- save money, more reliable, + more clean energy. @EnvCalifornia @GridLabEnergy @umedpali + others
