SACRAMENTO - Governor Gavin Newsom today issued the following statement responding to President Trump’s executive order targeting state-level climate and clean energy efforts.

This is the world the Trump Administration wants your kids to live in. California’s efforts to cut harmful pollution won’t be derailed by a glorified press release masquerading as an executive order.  - Governor Gavin Newsom

California’s climate leadership

The state continues to set clean energy records. Last year, California ran on 100% clean electricity for the equivalent of 45 days. Since the beginning of the Newsom Administration, battery storage is up to over 13,000 megawatts - a 1,600%+ increase.

Pollution is down and the economy is up. Greenhouse gas emissions in California are down 20% since 2000 - even as the state’s GDP increased 78% in that same time period.
