Annie Notthoff As a continuation of my first video blog, here I talk about two pieces of solutions-based legislation in California aimed at combatting global warming.

The first is AB 32, The Global Warming Solutions Act, a landmark law that NRDC helped pass in 2006 and now we're working hard to make sure it makes a difference as it is implemented.

The second, SB 375 - by Senator Darrell Steinberg, the incoming Pro Tem of the California State Senate - is another vehicle (pun intended) to reduce emissions of heat-trapping pollution by getting people out of their cars through better planning.

Check out this editorial in the Sacramento Bee for more background.

Annie Notthoff Hi, for my first blog I decided to post a video. Click below to watch me talk about another round of California ballot measures coming this November, including a poorly written energy proposition. Unfortunately, the sloppy language is the least of the problem. The real danger is that confused voters could mistake the laudable goal of increasing renewable energy for an effective solution. If passed, this measure would actually be a setback for clean energy in California. Check out this article in the Los Angeles Times for more background.
