Corporate polluters are lying again. CA's Prop 45 isn’t about affordability for Californians. The independent non-partisan Legislative Analyst's Office estimates Prop 45 could cost as much as $100M/ year by fast-tracking polluting projects and shifting costs onto taxpayers. www.noprop45ca.com

Energy costs are likely to balloon bc the Trump admin is pushing demand for fossil gas to unprecedented heights through its support for a massive expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports + energy-hungry AI data centers. Meanwhile, it attacks affordable renewable energy.

📣 Our new report finds that the Trump admin’s energy + AI “dominance” policies + hostility to renewables will make it even harder for working families to afford their energy bills. Thanks to Trump, the wholesale price of fossil gas could DOUBLE over the next decade, outpacing inflation every year.

Last night's CA Gov debate aimed to address 14% of voters who are undecided. 🤔 Big Oil has already made up its mind -- they're all in for Xavier Becerra. CA's largest oil operator just pumped $500K into a committee backing Becerra, who says he wants to increase drilling in California. 🛢️🤮
