Episode notes

State Farm and Allstate recently announced they won't ensure new homes in the Golden State. California homeowners didn't get much of a heads up, and so the announcement kind of freaked out a lot of people. Parents is a risk business, and climate change has made it too risky. When you drive a Chevy electric vehicle, you're getting more than a way to get from point A to point B. With a growing network of public charging stations, you'll be able to charge your EV while you shop, work, or do whatever you want to be doing with your time.

Two insurance giants will stop issuing new policies for California homes. CalMatters reporter Ben Christopher and Vox’s Umair Irfan say insurers have determined what homeowners refuse to accept: Climate change has made some parts of the country too risky to live in.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Michael Raphael, and hosted by Noel King.
