Advocates Call Out California Leaders for Attending Convention on False Climate Solution May 30, 2024

Food and Water Watch

“The proposed buildout of hydrogen infrastructure will not only perpetuate climate and environmental injustice, but it will also rob Californians of the opportunity to pursue the cleaner, cheaper, safer, and more efficient alternatives that already exist. The wildly expensive plans to burn hydrogen-methane blends at our power plants will increase nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution in frontline communities and lock us into a fossil fuel future that will fail to meet necessary climate goals. Elected officials should know that there is no shortcut to solving climate change, and that we need bold, community-driven solutions, not the fossil fuel scams that are peddled, unchallenged, behind closed doors.”
