motion targeting to ban petroleum fracking and called on the state’s legislature to push for that change. With wildfires becoming the new norm in the state, Gov. Newsom cites fighting climate change as an emergency.

OPPOSITION.

Regardless of the significance of any law or policy, it must be faced with opposition. California’s efforts have run afoul of the Trump administration. This is after the Trump administration sought to revoke California’s authority to mandate zero-emission cars, a challenge that has landed in court.

Elsewhere, a spokesperson with the Institute for Energy Research, a think tank that often supports the fossil fuel industry, cited the move by Newsom as “another silly distraction from real problems.”

“Driving cars is not what causes forest fires or makes them worse,” David Kreutzer, a senior economist at the institute said. “If people want to drive electric cars, they’ll buy them. You don’t have to eliminate the competition.”

“Electric cars might not have emissions at a tailpipe, but they do have emissions at the power plant,” he adds.

RECENT EFFORTS.

This is not the first time California is on the headlines for their efforts to reverse the adverse climatic damage through zero-emission. In January 2018, the then California governor, Jerry Brown signed an executive order that set targets of setting up 200 gas stations and 250,000 electric vehicle chargers to support 1.5 million zeroemission vehicles on California roads by 2025. Since then, the number of electric vehicles being sold in California has been on the rise.

Gov. Newsom’s executive order was praised by the California-based Coalition for Clean Air and expressed their commitment to helping in its full implementation. “The Governor’s Executive Order is a meaningful step in addressing the climate crisis and protecting the health of Californians,” the coalition stated in an email addressed to NPR. “Electrifying transportation will also create jobs and help California move forward in its economic recovery.”
