California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced a sweeping package of what he called the countrys most aggressive climate measures to accelerate the states transition to non-conventional energy sources.
The package includes 40 bills that appear to provide new green rules on laws related to things ranging from large-scale industry to the family home and private and public transportation.
The Democratic governors office said in a statement the package of climate change-focused measures aims to cut pollution and target big polluters.
It comes as Americas most populous state has struggled to provide stable electricity for residents amid a heat wave, which saw the state asking residents to use less power and suggest the best times to use air conditioners or charge electric cars.
This month has been a wake-up call for all of us that later is too late to act on climate change. California isnt waiting any more, Newsom said in a statement. Together with the Legislature, California is taking the most aggressive action on climate our nation has ever seen.
Were cleaning the air we breathe, holding the big polluters accountable, and ushering in a new era for clean energy, he continued. Thats climate action done the California Wayand were not only doubling down, were just getting started.
In July, Newsom called for bold actions to combat climate change. He declared his climate-focused vision for California involves a push to achieve 90 percent clean energy by 2035, carbon neutrality by 2045, setback measures to target oil drilling, carbon capture programs, and to advance nature-based solutions to remove carbon from natural and working lands.
40 Green Bills Newsoms office said his sweeping package of measures will create four million new jobs over the next 20 years, cut air pollution by 60 percent, and reduce state oil consumption by 91 percent.
How this would be achieved was not explained in the governors news release.
The package of measures, the governors office said, will save the state $23 billion by avoiding damage from pollution. It further aims to cut fossil fuel use in buildings and transportation by 92 percent and refinery pollution by 94 percent.
The governor named a list of the 40 new green bills, which touch on things from the broad scope of the climate to more everyday matters such as community air quality, electricity supply, vehicle permits, and gas pricing.
Some of the bills, which were all named in the governors news release, include:
AB 1279: The California Climate Crisis Act AB 1389: Clean Transportation Program: project funding preferences AB 1749: Community emissions reduction programs: toxic air contaminants and criteria air pollutants AB 1857: Solid waste AB 1909: Vehicles: bicycle omnibus bill AB 2075: Energy: electric vehicle charging standards AB 2622: Sales and use taxes: exemptions: California Hybrid and Zero- Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project: transit buses AB 2836: Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program: vehicle registration fees: California tire fee SB 529: Electricity: electrical transmission facilities SB 1063: Energy: appliance standards and cost-effective measures SB 1205: Water rights: appropriation SB 1230: Zero-emission and near-zero-emission vehicle incentive programs: requirements SB 1322: Energy: petroleum pricing SB 1382: Air pollution: Clean Cars 4 All Program: Sales and Use Tax Law: zero emissions vehicle exemption

Johnny Mandel Suicide is painless with lyrics
Man, WTAF is up with these delusional/suicidal leftists? Are their delusions so strong that they're trying to do a "Jim Jones" to the whole world? Things are pretty fucked up when I'm the 'sane one in the room'.
They're still pushing their bullshit 'Vaxx mandates' even after knowing they're killing people, especially children.
And I looked, and behold a pale (chloros - green) horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these peoples door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.
