A massive Norwegian-based salmon farm plans to set up shop right outside Acadia National Park, bringing noise, light pollution, boat traffic, and billions of gallons of waste to Frenchman Bay every day. The farm plans to produce half as much salmon as all of Eastern Canada, inviting disease and parasites, which often require vast amounts of pesticides and harmful chemicals to deal with it. Join us in calling on Governor Janet Mills to publicly oppose this monster fish farm and protect Maine’s coastal way of life. Take action: https://www.Oceana.org/SaveMaine

Over the course of its 150-year history, California has successfully protected its scenic wilderness areas, restricted coastal oil drilling, regulated automobile emissions, preserved coastal access and improved energy efficiency. Back in 1963 when the Clean Air Act was written, legislators acknowledged that California was ahead of the curve and wrote a waiver into the law allowing the Golden State to set its own stricter standards. In 2018, that exception is being used in fighting—and so far winning—the loosening of national CAFE standards Join us for a conversation about the past, present and future of California’s leadership in environmental policy. We will look at the lessons—as laid out by David Vogel—offered by California to the nation and the world. What has worked and where has the state fallen short? And later in the show. . . Just ten years ago, an entire state running on 100 percent renewable electricity was considered fanciful. But this dreamy vision became reality when, with the backing of big utilities, California committed to 100 percent use of zero-carbon electricity by 2045. The stakes were raised even higher with a statewide pledge to go carbon neutral by 2045. What will it take for California to achieve such a feat? What are the impacts on the fuel and transportation industries? Will Governor Gavin Newsom embrace climate initiatives started by former Governor Jerry Brown? A discussion on California’s surprise gambit to take the world’s fifth largest economy to net zero with John Hofmeister, former president of Shell Oil, Bob Holycross, Global Director of Sustainability & Vehicle Environmental Matters at Ford Motor Company, and Mary Nichols, Chair of the California Air Resources Board This program is generously underwritten by ClimateWorks Foundation. #letstalkclimate https://climateone.org/ Protect what has already been saved 5:29 Revoking National Monuments? 5:50 California Cars 8:38 Is California anti-business? 10:43 California Going Carbon Neutral 12:45 Oil companies and zero emissions 14:54 Electrification of everything 17:32 Lightening Round 20:20 Artificial Intelligence and Smart Cars 24:50

Throughout a 45-year career as an environmental regulator, Mary Nichols has been called everything from “Trump's nemesis” to “the most influential environmental regulator of all time.” A powerful climate champion for advancing climate action and limiting emissions, Nichols has taken on automakers and collaborated with them. Environmentalists have cheered her moves to cut greenhouse gas emissions, occasionally criticizing her for letting polluters off easy and not doing enough for disadvantaged communities of color. Where does California’s climate leadership go from here, and what’s ahead for a new national climate agenda in 2021? Join us for a conversation on the storied career of Mary Nichols, chair of the California Air Resources Board, and a look at California’s ambitious and controversial climate leadership from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to Governor Gavin Newsom.
