#fossilfuel production and #GreenConsumption is only possible with #DisposablePeoples and #DegradedSpaces because of a #genocidal approach to #nativelandscapes: “So far it’s been disappointing. If the #IRA continues to bring sweatshops and a continued race to the bottom it will be a tragedy,” Fain said.

#BusinessAsUsual #GreenConsumption: PM2.5 #pollution increased in 17% of the #disadvantaged areas studied. This is because #poorer Californias are more likely to live near #fossilfuel infrastructure, “contain 50% of California natural #gas #power plants,” and are more likely to live in high #traffic areas and are therefore exposed to pollution that comes from #tires.

#GreenConsumption: Only statewide regulatory barrier to #ElectricCars is the monopoly preserving #CaCPUC! Unlike #bikes, scooters and other #micromobility that solves multiple problems simultaneously such as congestion, #DirtyAir, crashes, Paris, and #ActiveMobility for health, but are restricted by local jurisdictions from displacing driving to reduce #emissions.
