TL/DR –

California’s Assemblyman Rick Chavez Zbur is rallying for offshore wind power infrastructure, arguing that the Golden State is lagging behind in its climate action goals. He’s advocating for a $1 billion bond for seaport improvements to help assemble the wind turbines that would make safe air quality a breeze. Zbur is out here advocating for a renewable future that would benefit all Californians, and we’re here for it.

Good morning, planet-savers!

Here’s the hot goss– Assemblyman Rick Chavez Zbur, D-West Hollywood, is sounding the alarm. We’re seriously off-track to meet our climate goals and need to buckle down.

His game plan? “Offshore wind power is a key strategy to achieve our climate goals,” Zbur shared at a recent press conference.

And he’s not alone. Many lawmakers are stepping in to back a $1 billion bond for seaport infrastructure to help our state go green. Picture this: wind turbine manufacturing that would create hundreds of jobs and invest in our clean energy future. But our seaports are going to need a little TLC first.

“We have to invest big in our seaports to construct and transport these offshore wind turbines,” Zbur insisted. “$1 billion is just the start for this green infrastructure project. It’s high time to prioritize climate, climate bonds, and offshore wind in our budget,” he added.
