Energy & Environment -- Why Jackson residents don't have water

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : "Among the legislation to receive a green light and head to Newsom's desk for a signature is S.B. 1020, which would require 90 percent of the state's electricity to come from clean energy sources by 2035 and 95 percent by 2040.
61% : While advancing several climate measures, legislators also voted to extend the shelf life of a fiercely disputed nuclear plant -- a move supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) as a reliable backup for California's transition to clean energy.
54% : Those are interim targets toward a 100 percent goal for 2045, and all electricity procured for state agencies would need to come from clean energy by 2035, according to the bill.
52% : The two discussed emergency response efforts from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), "and the president expressed his determination to provide federal support to address the immediate crisis and the longer term effort to rebuild Jackson's water infrastructure," the aide said.
46% : EPA: EPA Administrator Michael Regan tweeted late Wednesday that he deployed staff to Jackson for an emergency assessment of the treatment plants and expedited the delivery of equipment.
38% : A second key item to get a go-ahead was S.B. 1137, which would prohibit oil drilling within 3,200 feet of places where residents live, work and learn, if signed into law.
