The Trump administration wants you to buy more gas — and your children’s health will pay too. Another mindboggling misstep California will not stand for.

Donald Trump is handing his Big Oil campaign donors even more opportunities to screw over Americans at the pump and poison our air.

Strong fuel economy standards save Californians money and protect our health, and we'll fight tooth and nail to defend them.

The Trump administration is proposing new fuel economy standards for vehicles that would roll back efficiency rules implemented under former President Biden.

Key takeaways from the @UCBerkeley study:
* Prescribed burns maintain large, fire-resistant trees and remove smaller “fuel ladder” vegetation that can drive high-intensity crown fires.
* While each burn releases CO₂ in the short term, treated plots showed higher long-term productivity.

A two-decade experiment in the Sierra Nevada showed that regular prescribed burns help forests store more carbon in large, fire-resistant trees while reducing wildfire hazard.

Traveling early for Thanksgiving? Check Quickmap.dot.ca.gov before hitting the road.

Heavy rain is expected across Southern California and into the Desert Southwest through Saturday, with flash-flood risks near burn scars and urban areas.

Stay safe, California.

At last week’s Landscape Expo in Anaheim, CARB staff were onsite to help attendees navigate rules and access incentives for cleaner equipment. This kind of direct engagement is essential to support businesses, support compliance, and advance cleaner air statewide.
A group of five CARB staff members stand behind a booth table at an indoor expo. The table is covered with a white California Air Resources Board tablecloth and displays brochures and informational materials. Behind them are banners about small off-road engines and other CARB programs. The group is smiling and posing for the photo in a large convention hall.

UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state.

That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.
governor.ca.gov Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · Mar 24
California is moving forward with a groundbreaking satellite project to track and reduce methane emissions.

With this innovative technology, we’ll be able to move faster to cut methane emissions — protecting Californians and tackling harmful pollution.
