Of course, I kid when I say that California is already experiencing the effects of the Green New Deal.
A state that still derives more than 66% of its energy from non-renewable sources, has tens of trillions of dollars to go before it meets President Joe Biden’s promise of a 65% reduction in emissions by 2030.
