Friday’s rally at SCAQMD called for passing rules in 2026 to clean up industrial pollution, as the South Coast region experienced another year of dangerous air. We need regulators to pass zero emission rules. www.californiacleanmanufacturing.com

Today was a good day. IPP has officially retired, and Los Angeles is officially coal-free! In 2009, LA's energy mix mirrored the entire country's. Half its power came from coal. Today, it's coal-free and approaching 2/3s carbon-free power. If only every city and utility had LA's ambition and vision.

It's certainly not a perfect vision, but there's a lot to like too. That Hyundai is trying to build a green steel mill in the US at a moment when other companies are backing away and political headwinds are growing suggests a strong internal business case.
