Based on utility data on requests to connect new buildings to power lines, all-electric buildings are really taking off! In December, SDG&E received 740 applications for electric line allowances for all-electric new residential construction and just 109 for homes using gas. ⚡️

Trump wants to replace my democracy with a dictatorship. Biden wants to replace my gas stove with one of those magnetic induction ones that heat up incredibly fast. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I was excited to see an unprecedented level of leadership and willing to put the needs of people on foot and using transit ahead of all others. This backtrack is a massive disappointment, and betrayal of all SF residents.

Yes. Some tough questions await about how to lower California's eye-watering utility bills, but this wasn't one of them.

An embarrassing abdication of responsibility by a small handful of California's legislators that raises the question of whom they think they work for.

'The notion that the public should foot the bill for propaganda to convince viewers that PG&E’s undergrounding plans are purely altruistic is ludicrous.'

Senator Steven Bradford Senator Bill Dodd Californians are fed up. VOTE YES on #SB938 for utility accountability.

“‘My blood is boiling’: Californians furious with PG&E for billing customers for TV ads”

A bill, #SB938 , will solve this problem.

But it will only pass if Senator Steven Bradford stands up for customers over Wall St with his vote on it tomorrow afternoon.

An investigation from @SacramentoBee reveals PG&E booked a multimillion dollar tv campaign under a fund set aside to protect Californians from wildfires. We need commonsense guiderails with #SB938 ! Senator Bill Dodd @sensusaneggman Mike McGuire Anna Caballero ejus.tc/4azZCjU

I knew the climate fight would be hard, but I did not expect it to be this dumb.

Ratepayers shouldn't foot the bill for PG&E's $6 million TV ads promoting their PR agenda. It's time to hold utilities accountable and support Senator Dave Min's #SB938 . Say no to using ratepayer funds for corporate propaganda and lobbying.

On LCFS workshop hosted by CARB & this is such a frustrating workshop. I have never seen a CARB hearing where EJ and enviro voices are routinely met w/ friction from staff. The staff is dug in, & we’ll need political leadership to fix this broken program. #FixLCFS

California gas customers pay more to fund American Gas Association climate misinformation campaigns than any other state. #SB938 by Senator Dave Min keeps these million dollar trade association memberships out of gas bills by making utility shareholders pay for it themselves. #CALeg

Last month, in a wild turn of events, the natural gas industry was able to strip climate-friendly standards out of the latest update to building codes and standards that are used in most of the country, Alexander Kaufman reported in HuffPost bit.ly/43zmehK

“it’s clear that gas appliances are on the way out in California one way or another. For the sake of pollution-plagued communities and future generations’ right to a safe climate, state and local officials should do all they can to make it happen quickly.” latimes.com/opinion/story/…
