Gavin Newsom signed legislation to make it simpler for Californians to install plug-in solar panels. Models that meet state standards are expected to be on sale in mid-2027. 020
Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026California just legalized balcony/plug-in solar! 👏🏼 Beginning in 2027, plug-in solar panel kits will be available for renters, apartment dwellers, and anyone who cannot install traditional rooftop solar. Lower bills + cleaner energy = win-win! 🌎 185
Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026AB 1448 will prevent existing state-water pipelines, rigs & related infrastructure from being used to support new federal oil & gas leases 👏🏼👏🏼 The law comes as the Trump administration pushes to reopen California’s coast to new offshore drilling for the first time in more than 40 years. 000
Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Gov. Newsom just signed AB 1448 into law, blocking new offshore oil and gas leases in California waters and cutting off state infrastructure that would support federal drilling! A big win for California’s waters, coastal communities, and marine wildlife! 172

Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This comes alongside the EPA's broader repeal of power plant carbon standards and a proposal to loosen methane leak rules for hundreds of thousands of oil and gas wells. Decisions that can affect the health of entire communities deserve transparency, accountability, & meaningful public oversight. 111
Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Per ProPublica, 180+ facilities have received two-year exemptions from certain Clean Air Act requirements in 2026. Companies could request an exemption by emailing an inbox set up by the EPA. The requests were then forwarded to the White House for a decision. No public comment. No review. Nothing. 100
Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026#ClimateAction of the day: Ask Congress to review the Clean Air Act exemption process! How easy is it to skip pollution limits right now? Turns out, it's as easy as sending an email request... 124

Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Under the administration's new interpretation of the ESA, a ship could strike a whale or a company could cut down a tree full of bats, & avoid accountability by saying the animals were not the target. When a loophole lets you destroy animals & habitats, it's not a loophole--it's cruelty, by choice. 142

Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 17/09/2026...investments in long-lived, high-emission infrastructure, such as fossil-based power plants, transport systems and industrial facilities can lock us into decades of fossil fuel use, making it harder to change course.

Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Public notice is not red tape. It gives residents a meaningful chance to speak up about development that affects their communities, and it can help identify underestimated emissions or inadequate pollution controls before a permit is issued. 151
Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 08/09/2026…EPA's new proposal would change that. Under the new proposal, the EPA would let each state, not federal rule, decide whether, when, and how long residents get to weigh in on these permits. That could mean no public comment period at all. 121
Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 08/09/2026#ClimateAction of the day: Urge the EPA not to let data center generators skip public review! For years federal rules have guaranteed a public comment period before states issue "minor source" air pollution permits, a category that covers many of the generators now built to power data centers.

Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 25/08/2026This solar surge has become a stable, reliable, increasingly around-the-clock source of power thanks to California's epic battery build-out. Grid-scale battery storage in California grew by a whopping 26,129% (!!) from 2016 to 2026. This is a working model that other states can follow. 110
