We @uclalawemmett.bsky.social just released a new report comparing cost and climate outcomes between the largest public utility, LADWP, and a major investor-owned utility, SCE, both operating in LA County law.ucla.edu/news/cost-ca...

SIGNED! 🥳🥳🥳💪💪💪 A massive victory for holding monopoly utilities accountable to their customers, and for lowering Californian utility bills. Thank you to @governor.ca.gov, @asmmarcberman.bsky.social, @senmcnerney.bsky.social, @earthjustice.org, The Utility Reform Network for all your leadership!

Gov. Newsom should sign AB 1167 to keep costs down for utility ratepayers by ensuring they are not forced to subsidize utilities’ political lobbying and PR, our @denisegrab.bsky.social writes at @legal-planet.org. legal-planet.org/2025/10/08/s...

California’s investor-owned utilities are under scrutiny for causing deadly wildfires and sky-high electricity rates. Would public ownership fix these electricity woes? Our new report by Ruthie Lazenby, @sylvieashford.bsky.social and @surfswamy.bsky.social sheds light. 💡 ➡️ ucla.in/3G5f8tW

DOE screwing w/ 47 energy efficiency, climate reporting and regs, but @denisegrab.bsky.social tells Utility Dive to expect challenges. “Rollbacks will then be subject to legal challenges under the Administrative Procedure Act, as being arbitrary and capricious…” www.utilitydive.com/news/trump-d...

Ambitious new proposal pending before the CA legislature could meaningfully lower energy bills (or at least limit future bill increases) legal-planet.org/2025/05/07/c...

There are new challenges—and a lot of benefits—of clean energy in an era of climate-fueled mega fires. LA can rebuild after LA fires in a way that’s more resilient. Good explanation from @laist.com with experts including our @denisegrab.bsky.social laist.com/news/climate...

Essential reading for CA policymakers from @sammyroth.bsky.social: Suspending our innovative clean energy requirements for new homes would be short-sighted and could make rebuilding LONGER and PRICIER. Not to mention more likely to burn again. Let's do it right, LA. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Vital insights from @jlappen1.bsky.social on why we need to rebuild better in the LA fire zones. Building more resilient and more affordable homes means avoiding spending staggering sums of money on reconstructing increasingly obsolete gas systems heatmap.news/ideas/la-fir...

Much-needed inspiration from these amazing climate leaders during a tough month. @cathmckenna.bsky.social and Mary Nichols @uclalawemmett.bsky.social on how to keep fighting in the face of setbacks

Gavin Newsom used to talk a big game about shutting down the Aliso Canyon gas field by 2027. Now his appointees plan to keep it open into the 2030s — with no closure timeline. Newsom’s office blames Angelenos for using too much gas. My @latimes.com column: www.latimes.com/environment/...

The CPUC's proposed decision on the Aliso Canyon gas facility defers too much to SoCalGas's self-serving assumptions re the future of gas demand. It also misses an opportunity to set a clear mandate for closing the facility #EnergySky legal-planet.org/2024/11/26/c...

Hi #EnergySky #ClimateSky & other friends! It’s been <checks watch> 2 yrs since my last short-form post. I’m hoping we can channel the magic from the golden days on ThatOtherSite. Expect from me: wonkery, hot (or at least warm) takes, alternating professions of love for/frustration with California
