Gov. Gavin Newsom signs slate of clean energy bills into law

After a fruitful 2023 state legislative session, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 7 signed every major climate and clean energy bill that came to his desk. They included bills that will speed our way to powering California with 100% clean energy, clear the path for offshore wind power, open up highways to solar infrastructure, renew clean transportation funding, and hold oil companies accountable for their messes. Environment California had sponsored five of those bills, led campaigns on several more and organized public and legislative support for all of them.

“With today’s action, Gov. Newsom cements California’s climate leadership. As one of the biggest economies in the world, what we do here matters beyond our borders,” said Laura Deehan, Environment California’s state director. “California has set ambitious climate goals but getting there requires innovative thinking, willingness to take risks and action to jump-start clean energy in the face of staunch opposition from entrenched interests. Our Legislature and governor have come through on all those counts. Now, it’s time to put these important initiatives into action.”
