On Thursday, May 25, Capitol Weekly presented a conference examining California’s climate goals – specifically the plan to move beyond gas-powered vehicles. This episode was recorded live at ROADMAP 2035: Cars, Carbon and Climate Change – How Do We Meet California’s Zero Emissions Goals? on Thursday, May 25, 2023, in Sacramento. This episode presents Panel 3 - The Future vs. The Past: The Impact on California’s Legacy Industries By 2035 all new passenger cars, trucks and SUVs sold in California must be zero emissions. California’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulations will rapidly scale down light-duty passenger car, pickup truck and SUV emissions starting with the 2026 model year. While Californians generally agree with the need to move beyond fossil fuels, the path forward for California's existing energy providers is less clear. The panel was moderated by Brian Joseph of Capitol Weekly Panelists: Christopher Benjamin, Pacific Gas & Electric; Jon Costantino, Tradesman Advisors; Mark Nechodom, Western States Petroleum Association; Laura Renger, California Electric Transportation Coalition Thanks to our ROADMAP 2035 sponsors: THE TRIBAL ALLIANCE OF SOVEREIGN INDIAN NATIONS, WESTERN STATES PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION, KP PUBLIC AFFAIRS, PERRY COMMUNICATIONS, CAPITOL ADVOCACY, LUCAS PUBLIC AFFAIRS, THE WEIDEMAN GROUP and CALIFORNIA PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS
