(2) As the McKinney Fire rages red-hot and a megadrought continues, all eyes are on the 2022 Climate Scoping Plan process.

🥳No new gas plants + funds for offshore wind
🥳 Significant investments in building decarbonization + healthy homes

Wrong question. The wildfires we’re seeing are in part of a consequence of a legacy of 100 years of fire suppression (and climate change).
It pains me that “wildfire” is now used as a political excuse to block bills allowing more infill housing in the urban core away from the wildland-urban interface. (I’m looking at you @HenrySternCA for your bullshit ass vote against #sb50 last spring.)
