Inside California’s new climate change strategy

Last week, California’s air quality regulation agency laid out steps for the state to reach carbon neutrality by 2045 that lean on clean energy, driving, carbon capture, and forestry. However, state officials have acknowledged that some of those goals are potentially unreachable, and environmental groups have argued that the plan isn't doing enough. POLITICO’s Camille von Kaenel breaks down the takeaways from California's new climate plan and what greens are asking for. Plus, EPA has floated a significant increase to the contested social cost of carbon.
