California’s new climate change proposals are super ambitious

This week, California legislators unveiled a suite of new bills to shrink the state’s environmental footprint.

Among them is a pledge to cut gasoline use by 50% by the year 2030.

It’s ambitious, but it’s the target to go after. California is the second-largest emitter in the country, and transportation is by far its largest source of emissions, at nearly 60 percent.
