California prides itself on being at the forefront of the so-called energy transition, having set its first renewable portfolio standard in 2002, requiring 20 percent of its electricity to come from renewables by 2010.

Joe Biden’s $2 trillion climate plan is supposed to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from the electric sector by 2035.

Last week the “climate crisis” committee released their majority staff report purporting to solve climate change.

While the environmental movement has long been clear about their goals of increasing energy costs in order to force citizens to use less, […]
The climate radicals are upping the ante on puppet Joe Biden. The latest is a push by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for Joe to embrace spending up to $16 trillion in the name of averting a climate crisis and going fossil-fuel-free. Bold. Ambitious.
