With Transportation, We Should Stay Focused on the Prize of Clean Air
At first glance, it appears that California is once again leading by example in battling climate change and providing clean air to those that need it most. However, for residents of Los Angeles and the Central Valley who currently breathe the dirtiest air in the country, the governor’s September executive order to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars doesn’t go far enough.
The executive order’s goals are 15 and 25 years away. So it begs the question, what should California do between now and then? How is the state going to provide clean air to this generation?
