"A bill called SB 100 would commit California to 100% renewable energy by 2045. This is exactly the kind of ambitious, necessary policy we need to fight climate change right now -- and with the crisis at our doorstep, the solutions we need can’t wait.
Add your name now to call on Gov. Jerry Brown to support SB 100 -- because without urgent action to fight the climate crisis by moving to a 100% renewable energy-powered future, disasters like the wildfires currently devastating California will only get worse.
More than 200,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in Southern California in just the last week -- and these massive blazes come on the heels of a year of fires that has left unprecedented destruction in its wake. The October fires in Santa Rosa showed us even urban neighborhoods could be torched en-masse from flaming embers set free in hurricane-force winds. Those fires killed more than 40 people. This year, a record-breaking half a million acres of land across the state have burned.
Brown desperately wants the world to see him as a global climate champion -- he's even hosting a major global climate action summit in September, 2018. But he’s repeatedly opposed grassroots efforts to phase out fracking in California -- which is still the third-largest fossil fuel-producing state after Texas and North Dakota. And he sided with fossil fuel lobbyists over California’s most vulnerable communities to force passage of a flawed cap and trade bill with huge loopholes for polluters."
