As a PR consultant told oil/gas execs in 2014, 'Think of this as an endless war.'

And if they sowed enough doubt about climate science, he added, 'You get in people's minds a tie. They don't know who is right... I'll take a tie any day if I'm trying to preserve the status quo.'

I've been in awe of Andrea Vidaurre for years - she's such an inspiration and so deserving of this The Goldman Environmental Prize!

As we consider today's power plant rules, worth noting that we can build an absurd amount of clean energy very quickly... if we want to.

Renewables are powering the entire state of CA for hours at a times, and batteries are powering millions of California homes as the sun sets.

California’s clean energy future is happening NOW!

We’ve increased battery storage capacity 1250% — to more than 10,000 megawatts — since the beginning of our Administration, helping support a clean and reliable power grid.

All over the US, affordable housers are building highly efficient, electric, passive house developments bc they're cost-effective & save big $ over time.

What NAHB means is efficiency codes are a blow to developers' profits. For the rest of us, they = lower costs & better homes

At yesterday's Climate Budget Defense Coalition press conference, I advocated as CA Legislative Central Coast Caucus Chair for urgent funding to combat megafloods, wildfires, and mudslides. Our coast's safety and economy depend on investments in resilience and renewable energy.

Our children's future is on the line. With a tough budget year ahead, we can’t afford to cut back our climate funding. Thank you Environment California for inviting me to speak at today's rally to #InvestInCleanAir and protect our environment!

Here's a summary of our coverage on how California utilities put political lobbying and brand advertising costs into our energy bills instead of billing shareholders, which is illegal. And why, as energy costs rise, they probably still will!

RIP any faith we may have put in the CA legislature to help solve the utility affordability crisis.

#CaLeg fails to take the most basic steps to ensure utilities don't add to costs by charging us for political lobbying & advertising.

A sign of a the times: Carrier, the century-old inventor of the air conditioner, is moving on to the home heat pump.

The future of heating and cooling is comfortable and pollution-free.
