Stop Fooling CA

All about how the oil & gas industry manipulates people and politics in the Golden State. #StopFoolingCA.

Chairman of @CA4BES says group was his idea - but here's an email from @SoCalGas saying welcome aboard to our front group - which was set up by a PR firm. The Public Advocates Office says SoCalGas lied to regulators & misled the public. @hiltzikm @LATimes https://t.co/A0vspM53I0

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

⚠️We need action NOW. @portoflongbeach & @PortofLA are major sources of air pollution for SoCal residents. Year after year they fail to fulfill their clean air requirements. @SouthCoastAQMD we need a strong port ISR now! #PollutionFreePorts

Shame on WSPA for continuing to put polluters ahead of people, while frontline communities suffer. 😡#CleanerCars #ElectricTrucksNow

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

@SouthCoastAQMD has promised progress on port pollution for over a decade now. We need you to do your job, and act now on #PollutionFreePorts. 🚢

#ElectricTrucks are hitting the road as we speak. @SouthCoastAQMD the technology to transition to #PollutionFreePorts is here NOW, we need you to protect the communities you represent. @nithyavraman @RexRichardson

Frontline communities are suffering at an ALARMING rate because of port pollution. @SouthCoastAQMD has the power to protect the health of our communities now.

[My Generation Campaign @MyGenerationSC]

Pollution continues to loom over communities like Wilmington, but leaders like @RexRichardson and @JoeBuscaino have the chance to act now to demand #PollutionFreePorts.

#AQMDChatter - I’m not sure we would have heard AQMD Board Members say this recently …

“AQMD is a regulator, not a business partner.”

Very refreshing for Supervisor Kuehl to state that clearly.

#PollutionFreePorts

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

Port pollution is continuing to devastate our communities, so we need our leaders to act NOW. @SouthCoastAQMD, @RexRichardson, @JoeBuscaino, your community is counting on you to act on #PollutionFreePorts. ⚡🚢

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

“Yet city officials who operate the nation’s busiest port complex are showing no urgency to protect people’s lungs from the pollution.” We need you to act on #PollutionFreePorts NOW @RexRichardson, @JoeBuscaino, @SouthCoastAQMD. 🚨

Gasoline, diesel, & natural gas vehicles are killing us w/ tailpipe pollution - and the fossil fuel industry knows it. Yet still they attack CA's clean air laws that are helping us transition to pollution-free electric vehicles. Who do you trust with your health? #StopFoolingCA

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

"Burning gas indoors exposes people to dangerous pollutants that are linked with heart attacks, respiratory disease & asthma." Fossil fuel companies are working to BAN cities from taking action to protect their constituents from the health impacts.

.@CalEnergy @GavinNewsom: “It doesn’t make sense to keep building gas infrastructure in new homes. It’s much cheaper & easier to build all-electric buildings from the get-go." Gov must step in to avoid $1B in unnecessary costs & increase in pollution. https://t.co/M4rOh6E1rL

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

The @IntlCodeCouncil votes today on whether local governments should have any input on crafting greener building codes. Behind the scenes, @NAHBhome and @aga_naturalgas lobbied to strip local govts of influence.

.@latimes Ed Board: "CA has already committed to weaning its energy system from fossil fuels. It doesn’t make sense to keep building gas infrastructure in new homes." 1st step when you are in a hole is to STOP digging. @GavinNewsom @CalEnergy https://t.co/M4rOh6E1rL

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

Fossil fuel interests are working to thwart cities from acting on climate at every turn—pushing bills in 12 states to BAN cities from restricting gas in new construction. “We are increasingly active in the States,” @aga_naturalgas' @karenaharbert said

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

LISTEN: @ezraklein @leahstokes @dwallacewells discuss the emergency in TX + the broader picture on climate. Some important discussion on the need to phase out gas in buildings + the tactics that fossil fuel companies are using to delay the transition.
https://t.co/HfE6tkKPDB

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

We see it again & again—when local leaders step up to enact policy to cut pollution from gas use in buildings, fossil fuel interests mobilize to block action. We need to #LetCitiesLead & keep national fossil fuel companies OUT of local policymaking.

"In a “climate damn emergency,” there’s no time to delay commonsense regulations....Postponing the mandate for all-electric new construction by three years would result in an additional 3M tons of carbon emissions by 2030." @CalEnergy @GavinNewsom https://t.co/M4rOh6E1rL

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

@NPR investigation finds @AGA_naturalgas is preventing cities from transitioning from polluting gas to renewable electricity w/ covert national campaign to pass state laws that strip communities of their right to leave gas behind. #LetCitiesLead https://t.co/EjAyEqtSfp

[Stop Fooling CA @StopFoolingCa]

“This is a textbook example of an influence campaign in operation.” @NPR investigation finds @AGA_naturalgas running covert national campaign against cities. “The risk is this will stall climate action, favoring one vested interest over the public good.” https://t.co/EjAyEqtSfp
