"SACRAMENTO – The California Air Resources Board today laid out the policies
and actions California proposes to take to drastically reduce its dependence on
fossil fuels and get to carbon neutrality by 2045 or earlier,
following Governor Newsom’s call for more aggressive climate measures. The
update to the scoping plan is unprecedented in scale and scope, representing
the most aggressive approach to reach carbon neutrality by any jurisdiction in
the world.
The achievable roadmap for the world’s fourth-largest economy proposes an
unprecedented shift away from petroleum in every sector of the economy and a
rapid transition to renewable energy resources and zero-emission vehicles.
Under this proposal, by 2045 California would:
* Cut greenhouse gas emissions by 85% below 1990 levels
* 71% reduction in smog-forming air pollution
* Reduce fossil fuel consumption (liquid petroleum) to less than one-tenth of
what we use today – a 94% reduction in demand.
* Create 4 million new jobs.
* Save Californians $200 billion in health costs due to pollution in 2045"
