Interesting piece by Catherine Wolfram discussing the costs of a piecemeal approach to #GHG reductions and foreshadowing the coming battle over getting things built in #Ca.

At #CarbonForward in London this morning. Will speak on Ca’s program and hearing about the various carbon reduction markets around the world-this one focused on Austria and NZ. The sheer set of diversity in policies is really interesting. Many jurisdictio…https://t.co/0o1aJNxfRy

The irony should not be lost that as I watch the Building Electrification workshop at California Air Resources Board my power went out due to a bit of rain and wind in the hills. #gridresiliency

Congratulations to @sscliff moving on to NTSA in the Biden Administration. With that move, ALL for California Air Resources Board Deputy Executive Officer Positions have/will turn over since last month. #change

Today’s @AirResources meeting about to begin. 3 BIG items on the agenda. Should be an interesting day. 1) Auto deal 2)SJ valley air quality update 3) Tropical Forest offsets.

[Jon Costantino @JonCost]

Big changes at @AirResources with @emilywimberger leaving the Econ Group as well as two Division Chiefs moving on.

@COGWaterPower performed a power outage simulation with a mylar balloon. #SCPPA reminds you to please dispose of #mylarballoons safely and report any sightings of these balloons near power lines.

Today, we take our first completely carbon-neutral flight using biofuels and carbon offsets.

A milestone we are proud of as we work to cut carbon emissions in half by 2050.

[Jon Costantino @JonCost]

Agreed. #LCFS programs are complex and require lots of hours to implement.

Congrats to Wade Crowfoot on being selected to run an amazingly broad agency. https://t.co/jOWym9yCWi

Last Post of 2018, and what a busy year it was! @AirResources amended/adopted 18 regulatory packages this year. 18! In 2017 that number was only 2. With a new Administration coming into town next month, things should be slower but #capandtrade will be up…https://t.co/ncB75pbIhb

Great night sending off Governor Brown. Good to see one last emphatic speech about Ca’s past and future. https://t.co/iux5NHufWt

Today is the 10th Anniversary #AB32 #ScopingPlan, a remarkable document that brought #CA the #LCFS and #CapandTrade. The #RPS went from 20 to 60%. Time flies.

#climate leadership was the goal, now its policies are woven into CA gov't and its budget.

[Jon Costantino @JonCost]

In a stark contrast yesterday the #trump administration talked about no #ZEV subsidies and a #CA lawmaker introduced a bill to completely electrify the transportation system. https://t.co/QLoT8758p5 https://t.co/m21omFBcun

Congrats to Elizabeth Scheehle the new Research Division Chief @AirResources. #research She is a true professional and should be a great leader for that group.

[Jon Costantino @JonCost]

Just posted by @AirResources is the 2019 #capandtrade price of #carbon, helped by a robust CPI of 2.52% is (drumroll please...) $15.62/ton. If all are allowances are sold, that is an economy-wide cost/investment of almost $4.6 Billion for next year.

[Jon Costantino @JonCost]

At almost 100 slides, Weds #LCFS workshop @AirResources will show just how complicated that program has become. In terms of complexity, it is right up there with #capandtrade. Should be a long and interesting day. https://t.co/9i2J4EQDS7

[Jon Costantino @JonCost]

In a real show of unity the @AirResources board members all wore pink on the dais as Lisa Macumber made her way back (to support her staff presenting at the meeting) while she battles #breastcancer

Great article on hard topics. Worth a read for the unique marriage of the Yurok Tribe and California's cap and trade program. "How Carbon Trading Became a Way of Life for California’s Yurok Tribe" https://t.co/68JW0rKPlv
