In the next two and a half decades we can expect an increase in climate change regulations in California. Jerry Brown along with the California legislators have approved this bill 43-32. California is a symbolic strike against the Trump administration, which has been careless about the fragile ecosystem, endangered species, carbon admission, and protecting the general aesthetic value of nature to name a few. Despite the bill’s positive impacts on the environment, many still oppose it. Opposers of this bill argue that it will not be useful enough in making an impact in reducing greenhouse gases and overuse of fossil fuels. However, due to California’s massive populations, and thus large environmental impacts will make a significant impact for that reason has been passed

 

This article relates to environmental science because California is a massive state and has been very active and is known for being active in politics regarding the environment. With a substantial decrease of fossil fuel use through retail electricity, this could potentially reduce fossil fuel use, carbon emission, and could motivate other states to follow in California’s footsteps. Our use of electricity is a depletion of fossil fuels, and by trying reusable electricity, we could conserve fossil fuels and produce fewer carbon emissions making California’s resources more sustainable and accessible in the future.
