Great discussion of uncertain impacts of CEQA on development in California. I’d note that the recent decision re non-denial reminds me so much of misinterpretation of EPAct of 2005 transmission siting reforms (FPA 216) by the 4th Cir. It’s bad legal decision making that rhymes.
The California Senate Human Services Committee is ALL Women!!!
Is this the first time ever a committee had been comprised only of women in the CA Legislature? In ANY state legislature? @AlexCVassar @SenToniAtkins @toniatkins
I am so blessed to work with these two tremendous talents and wonderful people every day. They epitomize the work ethic, creativity, compassion, sense of humor and commitment to California that have fueled our success. https://t.co/DyQB7Lp4OM
Regular reminder that water scarcity probably isn't a valid excuse for your high-income, job-rich coastal city blocking the construction of new homes. Los Angeles added over a million people over the past 50 years and it *reduced* its total water use.
Thanks @EnergyInnovLLC for this great report (https://t.co/P25FVBsbwG). Please note that @GavinNewsom just ordered the @CalEnergy to set a goal of 20 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2045. This is inline with your recommendations! @offshorewindnow
@Aztec4Life13 June Lake Loop (eat at Ohanas and get a beer at the brewery), June Lake Beach, Mono Lake (the tufas = super cool), drive up hwy 120 30 min or so to Tioga Pass and go to Tuolumne Meadows. The Mono Pass hike is a fabulous day hike, Devils Postpile...
Super excited that Stanford is doubling down on the importance of public policy and real world applications. This is a great resource for Sacramento and other state Capitols across the country. We need thoughtful climate policy, not just virtue signaling.
The Sustainability Accelerator will draw expertise from across the university and outside partners to co-create and scale solutions for urgent global climate and sustainability challenges. I'm excited to roll up sleeves and get to work!
Thrilled about @SunPower 25x25 justice initiative! Really excited to work with @SecGranholm, the #justice40 team, and great organizations like
@HispanicFed and Black Owned Solar Services to implement it!
@LorenaSGonzalez Congratulations on getting through this part. Now the hard part: YOU actually have to REST! Let the energizer bunny have his job back for a bit! Sending all my healing vibes your way.
@Nikki__Moore I SO remember that evening. That bill went though both houses including policy and Approps hearings in one night. And you did it all with a wardrobe malfunction! That year I got home at 3 am. This year I ate warm homemade bread while watching the floors. Love the 72 hour rule!
