Friends,

Earlier today the Senate Appropriations Committee approved The Climate Center's two highest priority bills, SB 99 and SB 582.

SB 99, the Community Energy Resilience Act, authored by Senator Bill Dodd, would create a new state program to provide local governments with technical assistance and funding to enable them to prepare community energy resilience plans based on clean energy, not polluting diesel generators.

SB 582, authored by Senator Henry Stern, would establish California’s first-ever statutory net-negative greenhouse gas emissions goal, with a target date of 2035. It would bring California’s climate policy goals into closer alignment with what scientists are saying we must do to avert climate catastrophe.

The bills now move to the Senate floor. Today’s Committee approval marked an exciting milestone for The Climate Center’s policy efforts to create a cleaner and more reliable electricity system, and to accelerate California’s greenhouse gas reduction targets.

Thank you to our many supporters and partners who have made today possible!
