Environmental and Consumer Groups To Urge Governor Brown To Reject Trump Takeover Of California’s Energy Future
Organizations will pressure Governor to drop plan to give coal-hungry Trump control of state’s electric grid and to stop new oil drilling projects
Sacramento—On Wednesday, August 15, Food & Water Watch, Consumer Watchdog, and local community groups will hold a press conference urging Governor Brown to protect California’s environment from the Trump Administration. The coalition will call on Brown to drop a plan that puts the Trump Administration in charge of California’s energy grid, threatening to stick Californians with dirty coal imports and invalidate the state’s green energy laws.
Speakers will also push Brown to oppose Trump’s latest plan to explore leasing California federal lands for fracking and to be a climate leader by freezing all new drilling permits in California.
