I’ve been on the road, starting with a panel Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ)’s #SEJ2024 event to discuss how reporters can cover ZEVs. I hopped on a train to DC to meet w/ The White House, CA reps, & federal agency partners. I'll end the week CARB joint meeting w/ California Transportation Commission (CTC) & California HCD.

Today, the courts sided with common sense and public health against the fossil fuel industry.

More power, more water: solar-over-canal projects are coming to CA!

We’re working with Bureau of Reclamation to explore efforts that prevent water from evaporating — while generating clean power.

This pilot program is just the beginning of our innovative solutions to combat the climate crisis.

$1.2 billion from U.S. Department of Energy is heading to California to boost clean hydrogen energy development.

CA’s Hydrogen Hub is key to powering our carbon emissions-free future while supporting green jobs in our state!

EPA has announced $20 billion in grants for a national clean financing network! The eight selected applicants will work together to make accessible, affordable financing for clean projects a reality for communities across the country. 🤝

Every year, California’s nation-leading climate laws deliver real climate action while saving you money. latimes.com/california/sto…

In the face of the climate crisis, California is continuing to take action to protect our water supplies when it’s dry & capture more water during wet seasons.

This updated water plan will guide how we manage water, mitigate the impacts of climate change, & protect communities.

Utilities tend to treat solar and batteries as threats to their power grids. California’s policy will now tap their flexible power to benefit the grid instead. Reporting by Jeff St. John: bit.ly/4ahQP66

I've wanted to write a Disney/climate story for years. Finally got a big scoop, for Los Angeles Times...
