THANK YOU. 00:38:01 Stacey Meinzen: Yes, you will receive an email with the recording. 00:40:37 Polly Estabrook: What does the Climate Bond do? 00:41:07 Nikki Alvarado: Lost sound 00:41:45 Rob England - The Climate Center: Senator Stern's bio https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/senator-henry-stern/ 00:41:56 Ellie Cohen: Yes- thanks Senator Stern!!! 00:48:09 Barry Vesser barry@theclimatecenter.org: Sorry I dropped! Here are The Climate Center Priorities. 1) Rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions: Significantly reduce climate pollution as soon as possible by developing a statewide implementation plan for the managed transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy; and ending state subsidies to oil and gas interests. 2) Build a Grid for the Future that is clean, reliable, affordable, decentralized, and safe: Advocate for legislative and regulatory incentives that support local, clean energy (such as rooftop solar and microgrids) and value their benefits for resilience, reliability, and job creation. Get the bidirectional charging across the finish line. 3) Scale up natural carbon sequestration: Ensure that California sets ambitious, science-based targets for drawing down existing climate pollution through nature-based strategies. Enact policies that grow the workforce and infrastructure needed to deliver on these targets. 00:50:45 Cheryl Auger: Thanks Barry! 00:52:38 Janet Cox: just to note a report dropped this morning comparing the Fortune 1000 companies that will be required to report under 261/253 and the SEC 00:53:22 Sue Abby: What is the ID number for the webinar? I need to call in and Zoom requires an ID number so they can link me up to the correct location. 00:54:01 Janet Cox: …and the SEC’s strong rule; and 75 percent are required to report by both. We’re hoping CA action gives heart to the SEC 00:54:30 Steve Birdlebough: How does the carbon that’s created by transportation get counted in these inventories? 00:54:38 Marc Victoria: @Sue Abby - we are working on it 00:54:53 Rob England - The Climate Center: Webinar ID: 897 1635 2560 00:55:05 Cheryl Auger: I would like to ask about municipalities. LA City is able to get to zero carbon by 2035 because they own the distribution lines and can place solar generation anywhere. Obviously having the IOUs own the majority of our transmission and distribution lines impacts our local solar gains. Hawaii managed this by changing the IOUs incentives to build rooftop solar. Do you see this happening in CA? 00:56:15 Janet Cox: Here’s the report, from Sierra Club, Americans for Financial Reform, and Public Citizen: https://www.citizen.org/article/california-sec-climate-disclosure-report/ 00:58:07 Beverly DesChaux: what is up with the CPUC's disincentives on solar? 00:58:42 Beverly DesChaux: which run completely counter to CA's climate goals? 00:59:25 Polly Estabrook: Oddly, can save chat? Can you set it so participants can save chat. 01:02:11 Senator Henry Stern: Henry.stern@sen.ca.gov 01:02:19 Senator Henry Stern: And my climate guy Ross.Zelen@sen.ca.gov 01:02:21 Marc Victoria: @Polly Estabrook (and all attendees) - The chat goes out with our follow up email with all of available links that speakers use. 01:02:25 Cheryl Auger: Thanks Senator Stern!!! 01:02:27 Ellie Cohen: Thank you so much, Senator Stern? We so appreciate your leadership in every way! 01:02:36 Polly Estabrook: THANK YOU Senator Stern!!! 01:03:02 Beverly DesChaux: thank you for giving us a bit of hope! 01:03:06 Nikki Alvarado: Thank you for the great work you do Sen Stern! 01:03:18 Hank Kaplan (CSU CO): Thank you Senator Stern from the Cal State system!! 01:03:58 Christine Kimball Shewmaker: Thank you so much Henry Stern - you give us hope 01:04:19 Jennifer Tanner: Thanks Senator Stern for your invaluable work!! 01:05:04 Allison Hilliard: Thank you Senator Stern! 01:06:22 Cheryl Auger: Yay Asm Carrillo! Thanks Travis for the great message! 01:07:22 Beverly DesChaux: This is so essential, Asm Carrillo! Thank you so much!! 01:07:34 Janet Cox: Travis, AB 1167 is a great first step — but we’re all hoping there’s another shoe or three going to drop in 2024. What’s the next step? 01:08:19 Rob England - The Climate Center: Melissa's bio https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/melissa-romero/ 01:08:21 Meghan Sahli-Wells: Same - was a great event! 01:09:45 Meghan Sahli-Wells: Covered here: https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2023-10-03/bill-seeks-to-cap-orphaned-oil-wells-could-it-backfire 01:18:55 mariannebuchanan: Will these bills go into effect on Jan. 1, 2024? Or sooner? 01:19:18 Nikki Alvarado: Thank you so much for your clear explanation! 01:19:20 Polly Estabrook: Terrific summary. I didn’t understand how Gov’s concerns could effect PASSED legislation, but now it seems it is because of funding needed in 2024 01:20:16 Polly Estabrook: Thank you Melissa. 01:24:45 Janet Cox: Climate Action California is all over both of the disclosure bills. Please join our Climate Finance team! — Janet Cox, janet@climateactionca.org 01:25:06 Travis Legault: travis.legault@asm.ca.gov 01:28:51 Meghan Sahli-Wells: Recommend looking at CCA’s like the Clean Power Alliance 01:29:13 Meghan Sahli-Wells: https://cleanpoweralliance.org/ 01:29:49 Meghan Sahli-Wells: See also (for CA) https://cal-cca.org/ 01:30:59 Meghan Sahli-Wells: These are community choice energy programs owned neither by Investor Owned Utilities nor municipalities! Lots of cities are 100% renewable thanks to this 01:31:39 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her): Please drop your questions in the Q & A? 01:33:04 Frances Lee: Yes, thanks Melissa! 01:33:30 mariannebuchanan: Thank you, Melissa! These folks need to be called out. 01:38:17 Frances Lee: I appreciate Melissa’s comments! 01:39:02 k dervin: did you already mention working on CalPERs CalStrs divestment ( SB 252) in 2924 ( its a 2 yr bill)? 01:39:12 k dervin: 2025 01:39:15 k dervin: 2024 01:39:26 Barry Vesser barry@theclimatecenter.org: Great point, Melissa! Funding, workforce development are key! 01:39:28 Elisabeth WH6FKT CALIFORNIA: why not answer my questions: How do these bills hold accountable the 100 CEOs who decided to emit 70% of all greenhouse gases? Who will pay for the verification audits? Who will pay for the work required to generate the ghg reports? Will all of those costs come put of the paychecks of the CEOs? Should their employees also pay in proportion to the amount of money they made off of that pollution? Or, do the outcomes of these bills include raising product prices for polluters and tree-huggers alike? Why not hold all individuals accountable for their ghg emissions? 01:40:24 Hank Kaplan (CSU CO): Amen on sustainable funding for widespread sustainable transportation (not just EVs)! 01:42:25 Hank Kaplan (CSU CO): Thanks for the great session and for the excellent actions/words from today's speakers. Thank you for your time! 01:42:26 Polly Estabrook: Thank you - Climate Center for putting this webinar together. Thanks to all the speakers. Look forward to working with you in 2024. 01:42:43 Rob England - The Climate Center: Take Action Thank Governor Newsom for signing SB 253, SB 261, and AB 1167 into law https://theclimatecenter.org/fossil-fuels/urge-governor-newsom-to-lead-on-climate-and-sign-sb-253-sb-261-and-ab-1167-into-law/ 01:42:47 Janet Cox: Can you preserve the chat and send it with the recording? 01:42:48 Polly Estabrook: don’t see link to GOV? 01:42:58 Cheryl Auger: Are you sending the chat out too? 01:43:01 Stacey Meinzen: https://theclimatecenter.org/fossil-fuels/urge-governor-newsom-to-lead-on-climate-and-sign-sb-253-sb-261-and-ab-1167-into-law/ 01:43:02 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her): https://theclimatecenter.org/fossil-fuels/urge-governor-newsom-to-lead-on-climate-and-sign-sb-253-sb-261-and-ab-1167-into-law/ 01:43:08 Cheryl Auger: Thanks for this 01:43:16 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her): Yes, will send the chat 01:43:40 Nikki Alvarado: Great meeting, Thank you for everyone
