Climate Ambition Comes With a Cost

CARB Must Balance Affordability and Ambition in Cap & Invest!

Some legislators want to make it even more expensive? Apparently they missed all the latest polls about consumer affordability concerns and the fact that gas prices are above $6.50 per gallon.

Some legislators love to talk a good affordability game, but their actions speak louder than words. 28 democrats are pressing CARB to tighten the Cap & Invest screws and punish Californians with even higher costs for gasoline, groceries, energy, building materials and just about any other consumer good as higher regulatory costs rip through the supply chain. The high cost of climate ambition affects everything!

CARB would be wise to heed the affordability concerns of everyday Californians and ignore calls to ratchet up costly climate ambition even further.
