Archived copy of the article — you do need to dismiss a couple of pop-ups

“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.

This is pretty sick, i also appreciate the archived copy.

This program provides a framework for other states to follow in California, and soon Washington's, footsteps in cutting down greenhouse gasses. its also initial steps for a federal program.

    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.
