The cost of solar has dropped nearly 90% since 2010 and 99.8% since 1975. Solar is 500x cheaper than 50 years ago.

I commend @AGRobBonta for holding plastic bag producers accountable for false recycling claims. Californians deserve to know that products labeled as recyclable truly are. The state must keep acting to curb the scourge of plastic waste. I’m proud that my bill #SB1053 will ban plastic bags at grocery store checkout next year.
17 Oct 2025
Several years ago, my office launched an investigation into the plastic bag industry over reports that, despite manufacturers’ claims, plastic bags are not actually recyclable in CA.  This investigation has uncovered years of environmental harm, corporate avoidance, and systemic inaction.  Today, we’re taking action to hold these polluters accountable.

I'm looking hard, but I can't find any days (let alone weeks) without any sunlight, any days w/o any wind, any days w/o any hydro, or any days w/o any geothermal Same with last year, the year before, etc. And no-one drilled for the wind, water, or solar So unreliable, this WWS
Marching toward 200 100% WindWaterSolar days in CA Oct 16: 198th day in 2025 w/WWS >100% of demand WWS met 54.5% of demand in '25 Gas down 37% v '23 & 19% v '24 PV up 44% v '23 & 15% v '24 Batteries up 203% v '23 & 57% v '24 Demand down 1.2% v '23 & 2.1% v '24 despite more AI

More than ten reasons why small-scale, non-utility solar is important pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/10/… @pvmagazine More info web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/…

As China adopts Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), will the U.S. be next? VPPs digitally connect assets like EV chargers, smart thermostats, and batteries to support the grid. This provides reliable, clean power at a fraction of the cost of traditional plants. With grid stress rising from electrification, VPPs are a faster, cleaner, and more scalable solution. The technology exists; we now need fair markets, open standards, and consumer-first models to unlock their potential.

50 years ago, American homes were energy hogs -- full of inefficient appliances, leaky windows and poorly insulated walls. Today, thanks to efficiency standards and incentives, we're using less energy - and reaping huge benefits. Here's how: 🧵 frontiergroup.org/resources/…

Please put people ahead of #PFAS @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom. @andrewsimmern is right: we don’t need to poison our friends and neighbors to have non-stick pans. nytimes.com/2025/10/08/opini…

I was a little girl when the big environmental concern was the hole in the ozone layer. Reminder: We can solve big things together.
Today is #worldozoneday2025 So grateful world leaders came together 40 years ago to save life as we know it on planet earth. Dropping this incredibly powerful visualization from @NASA svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4272/#medi…
