Democrats’ Plan To Eliminate Oil And Gas
This is a major change.
Democrats in the state of California just voted to approve a plan which aims to drastically cut their reliance on fossil fuel in order to prevent climate change.
According to Fox, The 2022 Scoping Plan is looking to cut greenhouse gas emissions by an astounding 85% to become carbon neutral by 2045.
California is looking to get off of petroleum and fossil gas and fully shift to clean and renewable energy resources and zero-emission vehicles.
The state wants to reduce fossil fuel consumption to less than just one-tenth of what they currently consume. They also want to reduce smog-forming air pollution by 71%. They also believe they will save residents $200 billion in health costs related to air pollution by 2045.
California Governor Gavin Newsom stated, “We are making history here in California, and today caps an amazing 10 days for world-leading climate action. California is leading the world’s most significant economic transformation since the Industrial Revolution – we’re cutting pollution, turning the page on fossil fuels and creating millions of new jobs.”
