FILE – Large waves crash into a seawall in Pacifica, Calif., on Jan. 6, 2023. Giant waves, measuring as high as 13 feet, are becoming more common off California’s Pacific coast as the planet warms, according to new research that used a unique approach to gather historical data over the past 90 years to track the increasing height of the surf. California has led the nation in proving that decarbonization is not only compatible with economic growth, it’s a natural complement.
We have set monumental goals. But we know that California can meet them – because in many ways, we already are.sets out to map California’s progress on climate and economy-related metrics. Using the latest data available from the California Air Resources Board , we found promising emissions drops in key sectors like transportation and buildings but challenges in the power sector.
The worst jump in emissions that we found came from the power sector — where pollution from in-state power generation rose more than 10% over two years. California relied too much on polluting gas plants in the absence of hydropower resources. To get power sector emissions 58% lower in 2035 than they were in 2020, Beacon Economics estimates California will need to decrease emissions every year by 6.8% between 2021 and 2035 to meet that target. It’s a challenge, but California can do it.
