Thank you, @governor.ca.gov, for standing strong for Californians and the right to breathe clean air.

This piece of legislation would have made it more difficult to shape clean air policies in Southern California, the nation's smog capital.

Caltrans spent $207m on unproven hydrogen trains that have yet to enter service anywhere. As we discuss in our latest whitepaper, their decisions was based more on politics than well-supported environmental, cost, or operational considerations. calelectricrail.org/caltrans-hyd...

Range: Hydrogen will serve as the long-term primary power source for the Caltrans intercity fleet to achieve ZE
Chart compares diesel, renewable diesel, batteris, hydrogen, and electrification on environmental, technical/operational, economical, and synergistic criteria, and concludes that hydrogen is favorable and electrification is not feasible.
