"When you say 'what about China?' - the answer really should be 'what about us?'"

California Energy Commission Chair David Hochschild on why China shouldn't be the reason to give up on fixing the climate... it should be the reason to catch up!

Here is the reality on China:
⚡ Largest manufacturer AND market for solar, wind, offshore wind, batteries, and EVs
☀️ Produced 68 gigawatts of solar in a single month — more than California's entire grid capacity
🚗 BYD electric cars that are quiet, smooth, and cost $10,000
Yes, China is still the biggest total emitter. But per person, the US leads - and China's emissions are peaking while their investment pours into clean tech.
"A lot of what I feel is kind of jealousy," Hochschild admits. "They're going big."
It is time to stop using China as an excuse and start treating it as a wake-up call.

The cheapest energy ever made is sitting on rooftops. 🌞
Solar got 33x cheaper and most people have no idea.

Back in 2001, a solar panel cost $5 a watt. Today it's 15 cents. Solar is now the cheapest electricity we've ever had.

California Energy Commission Chair David Hochschild explains how we got here, and why it's only getting cheaper from now on.

A dose of clean energy optimism: California now gets nearly 70% of its electricity from clean sources. 🌞
There are more EV charging plugs than gasoline nozzles. 🔋
Over 80% of new homes are built all-electric. 🏠
And the state is on track for 100% clean electricity by 2045. 💯

Meanwhile in Washington, Trump is canceling wind projects mid-construction, bribing companies to abandon offshore leases, and waging what Hochschild calls "a war on innovation."

@iamwesmoore vetoed Maryland’s most important climate bill — then held a cozy fundraiser with @exxonmobil executives. @climatedefiance showed up uninvited. Then they crashed @senbillferg’s $2,500/plate steakhouse dinner and had his biggest donors laughing. The senate overrode the veto shortly after. Funny how that works. 🌍 More on how @michael.simon.greenberg is using humor to hold politicians accountable on this week's episode of The Fenton Forecast🎙️- link in bio. #climateaction #climatedefiance #followthemoney #directaction

Fossil fuel executives have known for 50 years that their actions will destroy the economy, devastate communities, and make the planet unlivable. Their bankers know it. Their politicians know it. None of them have stopped.
