And, the recent report from the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is no exception. The IPCC tells us that this is the decade when we must take action on climate change to avoid the worst- case scenarios. In our fight against climate change, we need to make sure every dollar makes a difference.

Regionalizing the grid could allow California to take advantage of renewable energy in other states such as wind power from Wyoming and hydropower in the Pacific Northwest. But it also would require California to give up some of its energy autonomy.

To avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis, it’s crucial that we shift energy production away from the unsustainable fossil fuels that cause climate change and towards those that release little to no greenhouse gases (GHG), such as solar and wind power.

Generating and storing clean energy is a lifeline for the planet’s future; burning coal, oil, and gas fossil fuels causes 75% of greenhouse gas emissions. A fossil fuel energy grid extracts and expends finite resources. Energy from the sun and wind never runs out and is used again and again.

There has been much talk in recent weeks about pricing carbon to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The most direct of these is imposed on certain fossil fuel power plants by requiring them to purchase carbon dioxide emissions allowances as part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. That seems unlikely, however.
