Another very big bill signed. SB-254 has short-term, medium-term and long-term measures to improve affordability of electricity. I don't know what is the "official name", I like California Electricity Modernization and Affordability Act

What city in the USA will be next to impose congestion pricing?
Hopefully most of them and they'll have EV discounts so that we can transition away from this subsidy model that is NOT working well enough. 🔌💡

A few months ago, New Yorkers were staunchly opposed to the policy. But polls show that more in the city now support the toll than oppose it. We explain why econ.st/3ZEvv7s
