“By joining forces with our partner in Washington State, we will build a stronger, more durable carbon market that will drive investment, cut pollution, and power the clean economy of the future,” Newsom said in a statement.

The changes are estimated to provide $10 billion in direct relief to electricity customers through bill credits and generate an estimated $8 billion for the state’s climate fund, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, through 2030, according to the governor’s office.

I'm still waiting for that direct relief to customers after CCA passed. 30% increase yoy on my gas and electric bills are not great when on a fixed income or working with an employer who doesn't increase wages.
