California's cap-and-trade program has dealt benefits to farmers. A reauthorization could put them in jeopardy, writes Brian Shobe for Sun View.

On its 13th anniversary, we remember the #Chevron #Richmond Refinery Fire and the 15,000+ people it sent to doctors and hospitals. A settlement of $5 million for this fire, followed by another for broader harms at $550 million, is just the start of the accountability for #BigOil that we deserve.

Reauthorization of the Cap-and-Trade program without common sense changes that generate more resources for Californians and reduce climate and air pollution recklessly ignores growing inequality, the mounting climate disaster costs, and the communities forced to breathe the nation’s dirtiest air.
