Breaking eggs + making omelettes for #climateaction in #OC @sdclimateaction. Former Irvine Sustainability Commission Chair (elected 2X). Opinions are my own. @ayncraciun.bsky.social
The @californiapuc.bsky.social will SOON decide whether to force CA families to pay for higher utility profits. In March, Asm. Petrie-Norris led a 🔥letter signed by 38 lawmakers🔥 urging CPUC to reject this request. Thank you, lawmakers, for fighting for us. #CALeg

Every OC resident should be proud and grateful to Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee Chair Cottie Petrie-Norris for this letter she and others signed and sent to the CPUC this week, urging regulators to “push back firmly” on utility profits at ratepayer expense. 1/3

Irvine will talk about its lackluster & years-delayed climate plan tonight. They’re also planning to leave OC’s only clean energy agency. 🙄 Sigh.

This slide shows some of the problems with that.
1. SCE’s basic product is much dirtier than OCPA’s
2. SCE’s “green rate” product is. Not. Available.

Also Irvine’s Climate Action Plan is a joke and DOES NOT EXIST, despite the city spending $750,000 in taxpayer $ on plan planning. See the Irvine section of our 2024 OC CAP report card update below. Irvine voted to create a CAP in June 2021 - almost 4 years ago and they still have no plan. (3/4)

SoCalGas has paid UC Irvine $2.5M to greenwash gas industry projects like gas/hydrogen blending. This is climate arson.

Insightful article from Paul Mitchell of Political Data Intelligence (PDI) on the *constitutional* and legal reasons that Irvine’s upcoming special election MUST be city-wide, not limited to the 5th district. Irvine residents deserve full representation. Full 🛑.

UC Irvine & the gas industry are pushing a risky on-campus hydrogen blending experiment that threatens student & faculty health & safety & undermines climate goals. Tomorrow, Nov. 21 at 3pm, join this objective discussion of the proposal. Details @ www.climateactioncampaign.org/uci
