Two weeks to make climate history in California: a call from the Union of Concerned Scientists
I just called my state Assemblyman Chris Holden to tell him to support these bills. I hope you will call your representative and tell him to do likewise.
Two Weeks to Make Climate History in California
California has the opportunity to make climate history in the next two weeks before the legislature adjourns for the year.
The California State Assembly is considering two bills—SB 32 and SB 350—that would increase efficiency and electricity from renewable sources, while slashing our petroleum use and overall carbon emissions.
We've seen policies like these work in California while saving consumers money and creating green jobs.
The oil industry is using a misleading campaign to stir up fear and protect their bottom line. The only way these visionary bills will become law is if the assembly hears from people like you.
Call and urge your assembly member today to vote yes on SB 32 and SB 350.
