California Again Prepares To Battle Trump Over Environmental Policies

"A lot is at stake with the new Trump administration: California’s water projects, its unique authority to clean its air, federal support for offshore wind and disaster aid for wildfires."

"We’ve been here before. Even the players are the same.

When President Donald Trump took office in 2017, his favorite sparring partner was California. The state’s ambitious environmental policies often clashed with the president’s promise to “drill, baby drill for oil” and rein in California’s regulations.

Now it’s California v. Trump, 2.0 — and the stakes are much the same. Candidate Trump threatened to dismantle many environmental programs and hollow out federal regulatory agencies on his first day in office."

Julie Cart, Alejandro Lazo, Alastair Bland and Alejandra Reyes-Velarde report for CalMatters November 8, 2024.
