A
C
None
is
more
forceful
than
the
issue
of
the
climate
crisis
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
advancing
here
today
is
a
strategy
to
address
that
crisis
head-on,
to
be
as
bold
as
the
problem
is
big
to
recognize
and
reconcile
the
fact
that
we
have
agency
that
we
can
shape
this
debate.
We
can
shape
our
future
that
we're
not
just
victims
of
fate,
and
I
make
that
point
to
make
this
point.
A
lot
of
us
are
anxious.
A
lot
of
us
are
feeling
deep
stress
and
anxiety
about
our
future.
C
We
have
to
deliver
more
than
proposals
and
promises
well
into
the
future.
We've
got
to
deliver
in
the
application
of
our
ideals.
We've
set
ambitious
goals
in
the
state
of
california.
I
don't
know
any
other
state
in
this
country.
That's
been
more
forceful
and
forthright
in
establishing
an
anchoring
of
consciousness
around
climate
change,
a
willingness
to
begin
the
process,
the
hard
work
of
decarbonizing
detoxifying
our
economy,
but
goals
are
nothing
more
than
dreams
with
deadlines.
We
have
an
obligation
to
implement
those
goals,
to
apply
policy,
to
accelerate
our
ideals
and
to
advance
our
cause.
C
Some
would
refer
to
this,
nothing
more
than
being
in
the
how
business?
How
do
you
actually
achieve
substantial
reduction
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions?
How
do
you
significantly
reduce
emissions
in
sectors
of
the
economy
that
have
stubbornly
grown
and
not
decreased,
and
today
we
are
advancing
just
that,
particularly
in
the
area
of
transportation.
C
The
transportation
sector
in
the
state
of
california
represents
over
50
percent
of
all
of
the
emissions
41
percent
directly
related
to
vehicles,
11
percent
related
to
the
production
petroleum
fuels.
As
a
consequence,
when
we
are
looking
to
achieve
our
audacious
goals
to
get
to
100
carbon-free
economy
by
2045,
we
can't
get
there
unless
we
accelerate
our
efforts
in
the
transportation
sector.
C
Unless
we
recognize
and
reconcile
the
fact
that
transportation
sector
we
have
seen
an
actual
increase,
modest
though
it
may
be
an
increase
in
total
emissions,
while
we've
seen
a
decrease
in
other
sectors,
we
can't
continue
down
this
path.
If
we're
going
to
achieve
our
audacious
goals
and
as
a
consequence,
today,
we
are
marking
a
new
course.
We
are
setting
a
new
marker.
C
We
will
move
forward
to
green
and
decarbonize
our
vehicle
fleet
here
in
the
state
of
california,
as
a
consequence
substantially
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
as
well
as
oxide,
nitrogen
meaning
knox
emissions.
Here
in
the
state
of
california,
in
so
doing
will
improve
air
quality,
as
well
as
improve
the
economic
climate
here
in
the
state
of
california.
C
Let
me
make
the
case.
Currently
today,
the
state
has
34
manufacturers
of
electric
vehicles,
no
state
in
america
comes
close.
This
state
represents
just
shy
of
50
of
all
the
electric
vehicle
purchases
in
the
united
states
of
america.
We
have,
by
one
estimate
close
to
three
quarters
of
a
million
electric
vehicles
in
the
state
of
california
726
000.
At
last
count
no
state
comes
close.
Our
second
largest
export,
rather
in
the
state
of
california,
are
electric
vehicles.
Those
34
manufacturers
represent
close.
Those
publicly
traded.
C
Manufacturers
represent
close
to
one
half
a
trillion
dollars
of
market
capitalization,
some
500
billion
dollars.
This
is
an
economic
opportunity,
the
opportunity
to
transform
our
economy
across
sectors
the
opportunity
to
accelerate
innovation
in
the
entrepreneurial
spirit,
the
opportunity
to
bring
more
companies
here
into
the
state
of
california,
creating
more
jobs.
When
we
talk
about
creating
more
jobs,
let's
just
set
forth
some
facts
that
are
in
evidence
here
in
the
state
of
california.
C
Currently,
today,
green
collar
jobs,
green
tech,
jobs,
green
jobs,
broadly
defined,
represent
a
five-fold
increase
over
total
number
of
jobs,
currently
those
employed
in
the
fossil
fuel
industry,
meaning
five
to
one
green
jobs,
outpace
fossil
fuel
jobs
here
in
the
state
of
california.
Already
today,
the
opportunity
is
limitless
for
the
state
of
california
to
compete
not
only
nationally
but
to
compete
globally.
C
I
want
to
thank
in
particular
a
number
of
manufacturers,
automobile
manufacturers
that
get
it
and
are
starting
to
get
it
done,
led
by
bill
ford
and
ford.
They
have
been
a
leader
in
this
space
they're,
not
a
laggard
and
they're,
not
willing
to
just
suffer
the
fate
of
of
a
future
of
dirtier
air,
dirtier
water
and
more
climate
disruption.
C
They
want
to
lead
and
they
are
leading
with
innovation
and
an
entrepreneurial
mindset.
That's
leading
to
more
customer
choice,
that's
leading
to
new
technological
technological
advancements
and
allow
them
to
be
on
the
vanguard
of
leadership,
not
just
in
the
united
states
as
a
manufacturer,
but
around
the
rest
of
the
world,
because
one
thing
we
know
the
trends
are
in
the
direction
of
zero
emission
vehicles.
The
trends
are
in
the
direction
globally
in
zero
emission
vehicles,
no
less
than
15
countries
from
china
in
india
and
israel
and
germany.
C
The
united
kingdom
have
already
established
benchmark
goals
in
terms
of
vehicle
zero
emission
vehicle
fleets.
If
you're
an
american
manufacturer,
how
can
you
compete
globally
unless
you're
in
that
business,
unless
you're
pushing
the
boundaries
of
innovation
unless
you're
encouraging
that
same
mindset
that
we
are
trying
to
advance
here
in
the
state
of
california?
C
We
believe
what
we
are
doing
here
today
will
substantially
enhance
and
advance
the
economic
competitiveness
of
american
manufacturers.
American
automobile
manufacturers
bill.
Ford
gets
it
partners
that
he
was
able
to
bring
along
volvo
bmw
and
those
honda.
Others
they
get
it.
There
are
some
automobile
manufacturers
that
don't
and
they're
pushing
back
against.
C
I
want
to
acknowledge
leaders,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
those
automobile
manufacturers
that
have
aligned
to
california's
high
vehicle
mission
standards
to
our
tailpipe
standards
and
that
are
pushing
the
boundaries
of
innovation
and
are
helping
us
collectively
support
the
goals.
Not
only
we're
trying
to
advance
here
today,
but
more
broadly,
that
we've
been
advancing
for
decades
here
in
the
state
of
california.
Don't
forget,
was
in
1967
that
the
state
of
california
led
the
nation
in
tailpipe
emissions
standards.
It
was
in
1970,
working
with
republican
president
richard
nixon
that
the
clean
air
act
was
advanced.
C
Republicans
not
just
democrats
have
led
in
this
space.
Historically,
this
has
not
been
a
partisan
issue.
Unfortunately,
it's
become
a
partisan
issue.
We
have
people
that
are
denial
about
science,
denial
about
facts
in
california.
We
want
to
lead
with
science.
We
want
to
address
the
issue
of
the
facts
that
are
easily
observed,
the
evidence
that
is
abundant
as
it
relates
to
the
hot's
getting
hotter.
The
dry
is
getting
drier.
The
atmospheric
rivers
where
the
wets
are
getting
wetter.
C
We
recognize
something
big
has
happened
globally
as
it
relates
to
climate
change,
and
we
want
to
take
responsibility
for
leading.
We
are
profoundly
impacted
by
this
reality,
but
we
also
recognize
as
the
world's
fifth
largest
economy
as
the
largest
economy
in
the
united
states
of
america
as
a
global
leader
in
innovation
and
technology
that
we
have
the
tools
we
have,
the
capacity
not
only
to
lead
but
to
punch
above
our
weight
and
to
enliven
people
all
across
this
country
and
around
the
rest
of
the
globe
to
follow
and
to
be
partners
in
this
collective
cause.
C
If
you
want
to
reduce
asthma,
if
you
want
to
mitigate
the
rise
of
sea
level,
if
you
want
to
mitigate
the
loss
of
ice
seats
around
the
globe,
then
this
is
a
policy
for
other
states
to
follow
for
other
states
and
nations
to
emulate.
If
you
care
about
your
kids
and
your
grandkids,
if
you
care
about
disadvantaged
communities,
you
care
about
seniors,
you
care
about
rural
communities,
you
care
about
inner
city
communities
that
have
been
underserved
by
our
fossil
fuel
economy.
C
C
You
can
still
keep
your
internal
combustion
engine
car.
You
can
still
have
a
market
for
used
cars.
You
can
still
trade
and
transfer
those
cars,
we're
not
taking
anything
away,
we're
providing
an
abundance
of
new
choices
and
new
technology
being
agnostic
about
how
we
get
to
zero
emissions
but
being
committed
to
getting
to
zero
emissions
by
2035.
C
final
two
points:
I
want
to
applaud
california.
Air
resources
board
just
recently.
This
deserves
enormous
amount
of
attention,
and
I
want
to
highlight
it
yet
again.
They
did
just
this
for
large
heavy-duty
trucks
here
in
the
state
of
california,
by
2045
heavy-duty
trucks
will
have
similar
requirement
in
terms
of
manufacture
and
sales.
It
was
interesting,
wasn't
it
that,
just
yesterday
weeks
after
california
led
in
that
space,
walmart
came
out
and
said
you
were
going
to
best
california
and
we
are
going
to
produce
only
zero
emission
truck
fleet
by
2040..
C
C
Tesla
yesterday,
just
coincidentally
advancing
new
innovation
in
batteries
bringing
down
the
cost
of
batteries,
extending
not
only
the
life
of
the
batteries,
but
the
range
of
the
batteries
you're,
seeing
innovation
across
the
spectrum
in
this
place,
you're
seeing
price
parity
within
the
next
few
years
of
electric
vehicles
with
traditional
internal
combustion
vehicles.
But
the
difference
is
you
don't
have
to
pay
any
money
at
the
pump?
The
difference
is
within
a
zero
emission
vehicle.
You
have
lower
maintenance
costs.
You
have
lower
operating
costs.
C
So
if
you
want
to
protect
disadvantaged
communities,
impoverished
communities
then
pull
away
from
the
gas
pumps.
Let
us
no
longer
be
victims
of
geopolitical
dictators
that
manipulate
global
supply
chains
and
global
markets,
as
it
relates
to
the
petrol
politics
that
have
become
so
much
part
of
our
lives.
Let's
disabuse
ourselves
that
that
has
to
be
our
fate.
That
has
to
be
our
future.
It
simply
does
not
let
us
lead
again,
california,
in
a
cleaner,
brighter,
more
resilient
future,
and
so
I'm
very
enthusiastic
about
this.
C
I'm
not
naive
that
not
everybody
is
going
to
join
hands
on
this,
but
one
thing
I
know
this
is
the
trend
line
that
will
become
a
headline
around
the
rest
of
the
world
and
we're
not
just
going
to
be
in
the
back
of
this
bus.
We're
going
to
be
leading
once
again
we're
going
to
be
driving.
This
accelerated
change.
Good
policy
means
accelerating
technology
and
accelerating
innovation,
innovation,
that's
california's
game.
C
Final
point:
we
also
recognize
that
it's
not
just
about
demand,
though
demand
is
foundational.
We
also
have
to
look
at
supply,
and
none
of
us
are
naive
in
the
state
of
california,
as
a
fossil
fuel
production
state
that
we
need
to
focus
on
a
just
transition.
A
just
transition
to
make
sure
those
that
are
impacted
by
this
transition
are
included
in
the
new
economic
opportunities,
and
so
we
are
in
that
process.
That
process
is
underway.
Two
very
significant
studies
are
coming
out
first
draft
november.
C
These
production
facilities
have
on
communities
that
are
vulnerable
and
we
have
a
commitment
to
phase
out
fracking
here
in
the
state
of
california.
Pursuant
to
this
executive
order,
we
will
be
directing
and
working
very
specifically
on
a
legislative
strategy
to
begin
the
phase
out
formally
of
fracking
here
in
the
state,
and
that
is
a
commitment,
a
firm
commitment
from
this
administration
codified
in
this
executive
order.
That
will
be
advanced
january
in
the
new
legislative
session
to
advance
that
cause
as
well.
C
C
C
But
I
cannot
express
how
proud
I
am
that
she's
standing
here
by
our
side,
40
million
californian
side
at
this
pivotal
moment
in
our
nation,
in
our
world's
history,
to
once
again
lead
in
terms
of
advancing
a
cause.
That
should
unite
all
of
us
as
americans,
with
the
spirit
of
the
moment
of
leadership
that
is
fundamental
in
terms
of
shaping
the
future
that
we
all
want,
and
so
with
that
chair
of
the
california
resources
board,
mary
nichols.
D
D
We
have,
in
our
agency
a
tremendous
record
going
back
to
the
late
60s
of
having
seen
what
technology
could
do
and
particularly
with
a
focus
on
the
kinds
of
technology
that
affect
mobility,
because
california
is,
as
the
governor
was
saying,
a
state.
That's
all
about
mobility.
I
myself
did
not
have
the
opportunity
to
grow
up
in
california.
I
moved
here
as
an
adult.
My
kids
are
native
california,
so
they
can
take
it
for
granted.
But
I
can
never
forget
what
an
amazing
revelation.
D
It
is
what
brought
me
here
and
it's
what
brought
so
many
other
people
here,
and
so
we
know
we
have
an
obligation
to
keep
on
working
to
clean
up
the
air
and
to
make
it
as
clean
as
it
can
be
and
to
be
ahead
of
the
curve
when
it
comes
to
technologies,
knowing
where
industry
can
go
where
we
can
help
them
to
go,
maybe
sometimes
with
a
push,
but
always
by
setting
a
standard.
That's
based
on
technology
and
science
that
then
the
private
sector
and
the
consumers
can
step
up
and
embrace.
D
So
I
really
want
to
thank
the
governor
for
having
given
us
the
direction
to
help
us
to
implement
this
executive
order,
and
I
just
could
not
be
prouder
personally
of
my
agency
and
the
people
that
I
work
with
for
being
ready
when
the
call
came
to
step
forward
with
some
language
and
some
ideas
which
we
believe
are
going
to
actually
make
this
work.
So
thank
you
very
much,
sir
and
I'll.
Let
you
get
on
with
signing
it.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mary
and
you
know
so.
Look
if
I
can
just
sum
this
up.
I
I
recognize,
I
think
a
lot
of
us
do
that,
there's
a
little
bit
of
gold
gold
fatigue
as
it
relates
to
climate
policy
and
and
we
were
hesitant
to
establish
even
more
goals.
We
are
now
committing
ourselves
to
implementing
those
goals.
We
have
gone
from
the
what
to
the.
C
Why
and
now
we
need
to
focus
on
the
howe
business,
and
so
that's
the
big
announcement
today
is
a
bold
step
forward
to
target
the
number
one
sector
of
our
economy
in
terms
of
emissions
and
that
is
in
our
transportation
sector
and
to
encourage
other
states
to
take
similar
leadership
and
this
nation
to
move
forward
boldly
to
do
exactly
the
same.
We
want
more
choice.
We
want
more
competition,
we
want
more
innovation,
we
want
more
economic
growth,
we
want
more
inclusion
in
terms
of
those
policies.
C
We
want
cleaner
air,
cleaner
water,
we
want
to
reduce
health
care
costs
and
we
want
to
increase
our
manufacturing
base
and
our
exports.
That's
what
we
believe
we
are
significantly
advancing
here
today
with
that,
though,
we
advance
nothing.
If
we
don't
marry
advance
to
the
cause
that
brought
us
here
and
that's
signing
this
executive
order,.
D
E
C
E
C
C
F
Are
we
out
there?
Thank
you
governor,
I'm
dustin
gardner
from
the
san
francisco
chronicle
and
I'll
be
asking
questions
on
behalf
of
the
press
corps.
Several
people
have
asked
about
your
conversations
with
automakers
manufacturers
have
long
been
concerned
about
the
prospect
of
having
to
make
one
car
for
california
and
another
car
for
the
rest
of
the
country.
What
sort
of
reaction
do
you
anticipate
from
them.
C
Well,
we
have
six
car
companies,
some
of
the
largest
manufacturers
in
the
world
that
happen
to
be
american
automobile
manufacturers
that
have
voluntarily
agreed
to
join
california
in
our
efforts
to
maintain
the
obama
era,
vehicle
emissions
and
tailpipe
emissions
standards,
regardless
of
the
efforts
by
the
trump
administration
to
roll
them.
Back.
That
says
everything
you
need
to
know
and
that's
a
direct
answer
to
your
question.
C
These
companies
get
it
and
they're
getting
it
done
by
putting
billions
and
billions
of
dollars
of
investment
in
research
and
development,
because
they
recognize
the
trend
lines
around
the
rest
of
the
world.
They
recognize
that
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
compete
on
a
global
scale
unless
they're,
creating
cars
that
people
want
and
countries
are
demanding,
and
so
that's
why
we
believe
this
only
advances
that
cause
creates
clarity,
creates
some
certainty.
F
C
Moving
forward
expeditiously
because
this
moment
demands
leadership,
it
demands
movement
of
the
california,
air
resources
board
and
it's
well
established.
Standards
of
responsibility
and
well-established
framework
of
constitutional
authority
will
advance
the
next
steps
in
this
effort.
Similarly,
what
they
just
did
on
the
clean
truck
mandate,
it
is
tried
and
true
well
established
in
the
rule
of
law
and
an
effort
that
advanced
under
the
clean
truck
rules
that
is
also
now
being
replicated
by
15
other
states
at
least
committed
replication
of
15
other
states.
So
we
believe
in
the
power
of
emulation.
F
C
Well,
we
simply
don't
have
that
authority,
that's
why
we
need
the
legislature
to
prove
it.
We
put
in
this
executive
order,
specific
timeline
in
terms
of
transitioning
and
ending
fracking
in
the
state
of
california.
I
want
to
put
fracking
in
perspective
it's
less
than
two
percent
of
the
production
in
the
state
of
california.
It
is
substantive,
but
it
also
is
symbolic.
We
have
to
do
more
on
the
demand
side
and
that's
why
today,
we
think
we've
made
a
bold
and
big
step
in
advancing
that
cause.
C
C
It
relates
to
our
health
policies
and
our
response
to
covet,
and
as
it
relates
to
climate
and
climate
change,
we
believe
in
science
based
rule
making
and
that
rule
making
is
underway
through
cal
gem,
which
is
the
regulatory
agency
in
this
space
to
put
in
place
a
framework
around
health
and
safety
standards
as
well,
and
the
possibility
of
mitigation
zones
buffer
zones
to
advance
the
cause
of
public
health
and
safety
as
well.
In
addition
to
the
efforts
around
fracking.
C
C
We
believe
this
policy
15
years
hence
will
accelerate
that
adaptation
of
new
technologies
which
will
be
breakthrough,
technologies,
bringing
down
costs,
increasing
choice,
creating
economic
opportunities
and
so
we'll
continue
the
tried
and
true
policies
in
the
state
to
incentivize,
through
credits
incentivized
through
vouchers
and
rebates
efforts
to
advance
not
just
again
electric
vehicles
in
the
state
but
zero
emission
vehicles.
We
are
not
wedded
to
one
particular
technology.
F
C
We've
been
struggling,
as
everybody
knows,
the
54.3
billion
dollar
shortfall
simply
without
precedent
to
go
from
a
6.6
billion
dollar
projected
surplus
just
a
few
months
ago
to
an
unprecedented
shortfall.
A
few
months
later
and
as
a
consequence,
we've
had
to
review
our
commitments
across
the
spectrum,
but
I
can
assure
you
this.
C
We
are
committed
to
not
just
the
short
term
but
the
medium
and
long
term
in
achieving
these
goals
in
a
way
that
incentivizes
adoption
and
adaptation
and
you'll
be
seeing
a
lot
more
in
this
space
in
my
january
budget,
and
we
look
forward
now
that
we're
getting
some
stability
back
in
the
economy
to
more
robust
results
from
our
cap
and
trade
auctions,
which
will
also
aid
in
advance.
These
efforts,
the
last
auction,
produced
much
better
results
than
the
previous
auction,
which
will
also
provide
more
resources
to
invest
in
precisely
this
programs
that
you're
referring
to.
F
D
C
D
That's
the
answer
I
mean
we'll
go
to
court,
we're
in
court
we'll
get
there
eventually,
but
in
the
meantime
we
continue
to
lay
out
the
course
and
gather
support.
We
have
more
states
now
than
ever,
who
have
joined
with
us.
So
you
know
we
have
over
half
the
states
in
the
united
states
who
filed
legal
briefs
supporting
california's
position
here.
I
don't
think
congress
wants
to
amend
the
clean
air
act
to
take
away,
california's
leadership
role,
which
we've
had
since
the
very
beginning.
C
And
I
think
it's
very
telling
that
these
six
automobile
manufacturers
have
joined
that
cause.
So
the
question
is
who's
bidding
is
the
president
and
the
administration
doing
if
the
assertion
is
they're,
doing
it
on
behalf
of
manufacturers?
Well,
why
is
volvo
and
bmw
vw?
Why
is
honda
and
ford
joining
our
efforts?
Why
are
they
committed
to
staying
the
course,
and
that
is
a
question
that
I
look
forward
to
being
answered
by
this
administration
and
the
incredible
vandalism.
That's
been
done
to
the
environmental
protection
agency
in
the
last
three
and
a
half
years.
F
C
We're
doing
something,
no
other
state
has
ever
done
history,
and
arguably
this
is
the
most
significant
effort
of
its
kind
anywhere
in
the
world
because
it
comes
with
the
california
air
resources
board.
It's
backing.
So
forgive
us
we're
very
proud
of
this
effort
and
to
the
extent
we
need
to
do
more
and
do
better.
None
of
us
are
ideological.
C
F
C
In
addition
to
the
two
studies
on
just
transition,
one
that
has
to
do
with
transportation
fleets,
the
others
that
have
to
do
with
the
issues
of
fossil
fuel-
broadly
not
just
fracking,
specifically
those
two
studies
are
backed
by
three
million
dollars
of
investment
and
are
being
conducted
by
our
own
university
of
california.
First
draft
of
those
studies
come
out
on
november,
1st.
F
D
Yeah,
so
we're
transitioning
away
from
hybrids
and
in
the
direction
of
full,
zero
emission,
but
that's
a
15-year
process
and
in
the
meantime,
for
some
people,
it's
a
lot
more
comfortable
to
try
out
a
hybrid
first.
But
what
we're
seeing
is,
as
the
hybrids
get
more
and
more
advanced,
they
become
closer
and
closer
to
zero
emissions.
When
I
first
started
the
toyota
prius
was
the
most
advanced
car.
D
Anybody
had
ever
seen
and
it
didn't
have
a
plug
and
then
eventually
they
moved
in
the
direction
of
having
a
small
electric
engine
and
then
people
their
customers
said
wait
a
minute
I
like
driving
on
electric.
I
want
more
because
it
improves
my
fuel
economy.
So
we
see
this
15-year
period
as
one
during
which,
by
the
end
of
it,
people
will
recognize
that,
yes,
they
can
find
a
full
zero-emission
vehicle
that
meets
all
of
their
needs.
F
People
have
asked
about
affordability
for
of
these
models,
for,
for
especially
for
low-income
buyers,
some
of
the
models
you're
standing
in
front
of
cost,
thirty
thousand
dollars
or
more.
What
in
the
new
rebate
structure?
Will
the
state
provide
to
make
they're
sure
there
is
equity
to
be
equity
for
low-income
buyers?
Well,.
D
I
think
you
heard
earlier
that
there
was
an
announcement
yesterday
from
tesla
about
things
that
they're
doing
to
bring
the
cost
of
batteries
down
the
main
element
in
the
cost
of
an
electric
vehicle
is
the
battery
cost.
Batteries
have
been
getting
both
a
lot
more
capable
in
terms
of
their
range
and
mileage
range,
and
also
more
capable
of
doing
it,
with
a
smaller
volume
and
and
and
a
lower
cost
down.
That
was
just
one
manufacturer,
but
there's
an
arms
race
going
on
here.
D
It's
an
electric
race
to
get
to
cheaper
and
more
effective
batteries,
and
it's
one
that
manufacturers
around
the
world
are
competing
in
because
that's
the
prize
is
the
zero
emission
vehicle,
that's
affordable
by
everybody
and
you're
going
to
be
seeing
announcements.
I
I
think
there
was
one
actually
occurred
this
morning
on
the
part
of
volkswagen
which,
a
couple
of
years
ago
we
were
citing
for
violations
of
emission
standards
with
their
diesel
engines.
D
They've
already
announced
their
plans
to
become
a
fully
electric
company,
only
making
electric
vehicles,
and
today
they
unveiled
a
new
model,
which
is
the
first
compact
suv.
That's
fully
electric.
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
drive
one,
but
I
know
for
a
price
they'd.
Let
me
put
down
a
reservation:
they're
they're
they're
ready
to
sell
them,
so
I
think
you're
seeing
a
really
quick
transition
here
and
it's
in
the
direction
of
affordability.
But
in
addition,
I
want
to
say
that
we
aren't
just
waiting
for
the
price
to
come
down.
D
Many
people
can't
afford
a
new
car,
whatever
the
price
is
and
the
need
to
place
electric
vehicles
in
places
where
people
can
utilize
them
and
enjoy
the
benefits
and
the
whole
community
can
enjoy
the
benefits
of
zero
emissions
is
important
too.
So
we
have
programs
underway
to
encourage
electric
bicycles.
D
Electric
scooters
used
electric
vehicles,
community
share
electric
vehicles,
organizations
that
will
be
helping
to
provide
carpooling,
that's
fully
zero
and,
last
but
not
least,
our
transit
agencies,
which
are
now
in
very
sad
shape
because
of
the
recession
and
which
also
need
to
be
making
the
transition
to
zero
emission
buses.
We
need
to
be
working
with
them
directly
and
that's
just
not
just
carb
it's
cal
style,
transportation,
agency,
caltrans
and
others
who
are
really
working
creatively
to
figure
out
ways
to
help
more
people,
utilize
our
transit
system.
C
And
I
appreciate
mary
bringing
that
up
because
in
the
executive
order
we
talk
in
terms
of
our
streets,
we
talk
bicycle.
We
talk
about
transit.
We
also
call
out
specifically
the
work
that
we've
been
doing.
Mary
led
on
previous
administration,
led
on
low
carbon
fuel
standards
in
the
transition
of
some
of
our
largest
refineries
in
the
state
of
california.
I'd
point
to
two
examples:
recently:
phillips
66
and
marathon
refineries
that
are
beginning
to
transition,
their
fuels
and
their
manufacturing
facilities.
That's
happening
in
real
time.
C
That's
an
extraordinary
proof
point
to
the
opportunity
to
transition,
create
jobs
and
do
so
in
a
sustainable
way,
and
we
specifically
in
this
executive
order,
call
out
strategies
to
move
away
from
red
tape
in
that
space
to
a
red
carpet,
mentality
in
terms
of
securing
and
encouraging
that
transition
in
a
much
more
expeditious
manner.
But
the
bottom
line
is
this:
when
it
comes
to
cost
just
consider
these
two
proof
points.
C
Just
in
the
last
decade
the
cost
of
wind
has
dropped
in
half
and
the
cost
of
solar,
just
in
the
last
decade,
has
dropped
85
percent.
The
cost
question
is
dissipating
significantly.
That
gap
is
beginning
to
go
away,
and
just
in
the
next
few
years
you
will
see
price
parity
in
this
space.
With
these
new
cars
and
again
our
mandate
is
15
years.
Hence,
and
I
think
the
issue
of
cost
will
substantially
be-
and
may
I
say
this
intentionally
in
our
rear
view-
mirror.
F
Last
question
here
and
again:
this
is
from
janet
wilson
at
the
desert
sun.
She
asked
about
steam
fracking
your
order
addresses
hydraulic
fracking
steam.
Fracking
is
also
shown
to
be
a
dangerous
technique
to
workers
and
wildlife.
Why
does
your
executive
order
not
address
this
extraction
technique?
Well,.
C
We
we
put
a
moratorium
on
on
cyclic
steam
fracking
number
of
months
ago.
We
have
strategies
in
place
that
are
being
advanced
specifically
by
cal
jam
on
the
regulatory
side,
but
I
would
be
remiss
because
he
is
standing
to
my
right
not
to
have
the
person
responsible
in
this
space,
not
answer
that
question
with
a
little
bit
more
clarity
ahead
of
our
natural
resource
agency,
wade,
crawford.
E
Thanks
governor
well,
the
governor
is
absolutely
right.
He
has
made
it
clear
that
there
is
a
zero
tolerance
policy
for
these
inland
oil
spills
that
are
also
called
surface
expressions.
Cal
jam
is
implementing
right
now,
a
strengthened
rule
to
ensure
these
surface
expressions
don't
happen
that
that
passed
in
april
and
is
being
implemented.
E
Likewise,
the
governor
mentioned
that
we
have
placed
a
moratorium
on
that
high-pressure
cyclic
steam
practice
that
we
believe
led
to
the
surface
expression
in
kern
county
that
gained
a
lot
of
attention
in
recent
months,
so
our
cal
gem
experts
are
very
focused
and
heeding
the
governor's
very
clear
direction
to
us,
which
is
a
zero
tolerance
policy.
Moving
forward
for
these
types
of
oil
spills.
C
That
it
well
with
that,
let
me
thank
everybody
for
the
privilege
of
your
time,
privilege
of
being
here
with
mary
nichols
and
our
entire
environmental
leadership
team,
tom
steyer
and
others,
and
thank
you
all
for
this
opportunity.
Explain
this
executive
order
and
subsequent
actions
by
the
california
resources
board.
But
I
will
conclude
by
making
a
point
and
emphasizing
the
following
we're
just
getting
started.
We
are
working
on
a
series
of
additional
executive
orders.
C
Last
words,
I
think
it
was
plato
who
said,
if
there's
any
hope
for
the
future,
those
with
lanterns
will
pass
them
on
to
others,
and
I
just
want
to
express
appreciation.
I
referenced
ronald
reagan
1967
in
the
work
that
was
done
in
partnership
with
a
republican
president
by
the
name
of
richard
nixon
george
h.w
bush,
advancing
cap
and
trade
to
deal
with
acid
rain
republican
governor
in
the
name
of
arnold
schwarzenegger,
putting
into
effect
the
largest
cap
and
trade
program.
C
The
only
fully
functioning
cap
and
trade
program
in
the
united
states
of
america,
governor
davis
that
actually
advanced
a
lot
of
environmental
goals.
That
often
is
overlooked
and,
of
course,
of
course,
governor
jerry
brown,
who
really
set
the
bar,
and
not
only
leadership
here
within
the
state
and
across
the
united
states,
but
globally.
C
That
mou
under
two
220
jurisdictions,
representing
43
percent
of
the
global
economy,
signed
the
equivalent
of
the
paris
accord
doubling
down
on
their
commitment
and
our
commitment
to
fill
the
void
of
national
leadership
as
it
relates
to
climate
change
and
as
a
governor
of
a
state
whose
populations
larger
than
163
nations
of
196
that
signed
those
paris
accords.
I
say
amen
and
thank
you
to
governor
brown's
leadership,
look
forward
to
knowing
a
lot
more
and
sharing
those
efforts
with
you
in
the
near
term.
Thank
you.
All
very
very.
