Last week, California governor Gavin Newsom signed on a package of legislation that will address a wide array of climate measures designed to ensure the state will reach it commitment of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 among other ambitious goals. Legislation includes bills to reduce carbon emissions, protect Californians from big polluters and accelerate the transition to clean energy.

California is commonly known for it’s earthquake risk and more recently, severe drought and wild fires. However, the tides are changing for California as a new study from UCLA predicts that potentially catastrophic flooding or what being called a “megaflood” is likely to happen. While there isn’t a clear timeline on when this “megaflood” may hit, the study from UCLA indicates that the possibility has been almost doubled thanks climate change.

This week, The California Energy Commission (CEC) adopted a set of goals that will enable the state to develop clean energy through offshore wind. This offshore wind development is expected to generate 2,000-5,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind by 2030, and should increase to 25,000 MW by 2045. Assuming the state hits these goals, that would be enough electricity to power 3.75 million homes by 2030 and 25 million homes by mid-century.
