PG&E spent $3.6 million on lobbying last year - and frequently got its way when it took a stance on bills. Will the legislature prioritize our climate and infrastructure goals and taxpayers, or special interests when they vote on #SB445? https://calmatters.org/data/2025/04/california-lobbying-spending-2024/

Note that both us and the CA Building Trades are also supporting SB 445, but did not make it into the bill analysis for unclear reasons.

I am really surprised to see Pacificorp so high compared to PG&E but I would guess that’s the final hurrah of the Klamath river dam removal.

Of course gas companies want hydrogen. You have to be dependent on them again for the fuel instead of free green energy that could be generated with wind, solar, thermal, water....i for one will not miss gas stations

Green hydrogen is made from wind, solar, thermal, etc.

Honestly, I wonder how many of your kind are secretly stooges of the oil industry. You cannot recognize green energy at all.
