California Gov. Gavin Newsom was pressured by three dozen environmental groups. They wrote a letter to Newsom urging him to declare a sweeping climate emergency. Additionally, they asked for new fossil fuel permits, a ban on fracking and a plan for a public utility company. One person wrote: “Governor Newsom still has the opportunity to take courageous action before it’s too late.” Newsom already begun acting on many of these issues and vowed to act on many more.
