Soon after Donald Trump returned to office, the project got a rebranding. Now it's all about "American-made energy," and it includes a gigantic gas plant.

No on AB 942! Breaking a contract that was one reason people rushed to get in before the deadline in the first place is extremely dangerous. It shakes faith in our system of laws when they can be arbitrarily canceled by powerful entities on a whim. This will be challenged in the courts if passed!
AB 942 would affect solar credits for people who installed the panels before April 2023. The bill’s author, Assemblywoman Lisa Calderon, is a former executive at the parent company of Southern California Edison
