Utility bills have shot up by as much as 127 percent over the last
decade in California, and the state’s ambitious climate goals and
spending are partially to blame. That trend is putting political
pressure on state lawmakers to take legislative action. POLITICO’s Wes
Venteicher breaks down the high cost of California’s climate ambitions
and why it’s concerning Democratic lawmakers in other states. Plus, the
White House named three nominees to fill seats on the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission.
