So proud to launch @laincubator’s Cleantech Debt Fund today, the first such fund in the nation! Why is the Fund a big deal? First, It won’t require personal collateral or credit scores from our LACI founders, removing a major hurdle to access capital 1/ impactalpha.com/cleantech-in…

Better access to transportation means better access to jobs, education, and opportunity. Today marks one year since the South-Central light rail extension opened.
Now, we’re moving full speed ahead on expanding light rail into Maryvale. 🚊

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

I’ve written a few campaign ads in my day.
But holy shit.
This ad from @ossoff might be one of the best I’ve ever seen.

While the Trump Administration tears down clean energy in favor of fossil fuels, California is activating a pilot project for the nation’s first solar-covered canal.
We're investing in new technologies to find more solutions for lowering costs, saving water, and preparing for a hotter, drier future.

Fascinating and unsurprising. EVs could easily be the next chapter of the Innovators Dilemma. Better performance, lower maintenance, competitive price. Legacy companies doubled down on the old tech for too long, now just watching their market share erode.

#AB1777 is the California Clean Skies Act that will help California communities burdened by heavy diesel, railroad, and port pollution by getting zero emissions trucks on the road and equipment deployed.

A reminder that Mayor Anne Hidalgo will go down as one of the most consequential mayors of the modern time: a mayor who literally built 600 miles of bike lanes and made hundreds of streets car free in her 12 years as Paris mayor. Bravo.
