Trump admin takes aim at California Coastal Act and Coastal Program to ram through oil and gas leases and Space X projects. CA's coastal program is the reason why our coast and access to it is so magnificent. www.kqed.org/news/1208908...

The Trump administration used specious arguments based on the Defense Production Act to ignore California law and restart oil drilling using the infrastructure that caused the massive 2015 Refugio oil spill. www.noozhawk.com/as-trump-off...

The CA Coastal Management Program is a model for the world. There are few places that have balanced coastal conservation, beach access and ecnomic development better than California. Now, Commerce is reviewing it because CA isn't rubber stamping SpaceX launches. www.commerce.gov/news/press-r...

Remember that company that Trump paid a billion dollars so that they *wouldn't* build offshore wind farms in the US? They're doing amazing shit over in Europe. Floating turbines are so cool!

We are using $2 Billion dollars in public funds (your tax dollars) to pay companies not to produce energy. Make it make sense??

We acknowledge that more than 90% of the heat from global warming has gone into the ocean but then act surprised when this happens.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Key words, “conceded defeat”

Even Trump’s bad policies can't stop renewables now. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

Found many dead Cormorants on Crystal Cove State Park beach in Southern CA today. Probably a dozen in a 2.5 mile stretch. Maybe marine heat wave or avian flu?? 🤷‍♂️ Anyone know why?

This story cannot keep flying under the radar. A ProPublica investigation uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they are supposed to regulate. That is not just a conflict of interest. It is corruption, plain and simple.

One of the many great things about driving an electric car is that I don’t even notice what the gas prices are anymore.
