The #InflationReductionAct introduces rebates and incentives to ensure new and existing buildings are highly efficient, resilient, safe, and comfortable in the face of high energy prices, a deteriorating building stock, a housing crisis, and extreme weather. 💪🏫

This is a huge huge win for tenant rights and a step in the right direction to ensure that residents can benefit from a decarbonized economy. So proud of @CalSOMAH for setting a precedence here and huge gratitude for all EJ groups that worked on AB693 in CA.
The steps announced today by the Biden Administration will not only help families reduce utility costs, but also provide an opportunity for HUD-assisted residents to participate in the clean energy economy through local community solar programs.

❗BREAKING ❗23 environmental justice and public health groups & reps have released a letter calling on @AirResources@mslianeran@GavinNewsom to put CA on the path to a full, coordinated phase out of fossil fuels and ensure frontline communities benefit from the transition. 🧵
It's hard for many of us working in the climate field to not have this issue be personal affecting our everyday decisions. To that end, being climate progressive or prioritizing env justice too much is not going to be something any of us will regret.

I wrote a paper for CPUC to scope out key considerations for long-term gas system planning in CA. We face thorny qs about how to best manage existing energy infrastructure and plan for climate impacts in the face of needed decarbonization. Now public here: https://t.co/4NZHSeo7yO
California is 60 years behind on its climate goals. We can’t catch up without a big investment to switch buildings from burning fossil fuels to clean electricity @SPUR_Urbanist@GavinNewsom@toniatkins @Rendon63rd #electrifyeverything https://t.co/zLA6BDZQnJ
Today's historic investment includes💰for:
🏗️Transformative Climate Communities
🏫Climate Resilience Centers
🤝Regional Climate Collaboratives
🚗⚡️🚐⚡️Clean Mobility Equity
🌳🏞️☀️Community Trees, Parks and Solar
👏🏾@GavinNewsom and all the advocates that made this happen.
But even beyond housing there's been a flurry of policymaking that, if implemented well, will really change lives in California. Universal pre-k for 4 year olds, for instance, is a big deal.
I'd like to see Newsom and the Democrats get the chance to finish what they've started.
But on issues like housing, where symbolic gestures have dominated, California's Democrats have woken up. The state is on the cusp of ending single-family zoning!
Wrecking the political coalition that's finally moving policy on this issue would be madness.
I don't think most Californians know how much Newsom and the Democratic legislature have done in the last 18 months.
To be honest, I didn't know a lot of it, until I sat down to pick through their record. But it's impressive. https://t.co/8qX6jn4mas
