@TenderTummy @nytimes @JillCowan @PGE4Me 1) the proposal is to have customers own the utility, not the city, and 2) SJCE is already public utility that provides greener electricity at a lower cost than PG&E, and earns revenues in excess of costs. We procure the power,PG&E distributes it — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @SJFD for being there to protect our neighbors threatened by the #KincadeFire! — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Resilience is the key word for California. I'm grateful to Gov. Newsom and our partners at State, like Sen. Beall, who’ve worked to allocate 500k in funding to @CityofSanJose—helping us better protect our community's safety from PG&E’s ongoing blackouts. https://t.co/ZBS3LsRFKp — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Now: Senator @Jimbealljr joins Mayor Liccardo to announce State funding and legislature established by Governor @GavinNewsom to reimburse @CityofSanJose for PG&E blackout safety efforts. https://t.co/3OJl033XC6 — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this week, I joined environmental champion @JerryBrownGov to testify before Congress on CA’s clean car emission standards. Together, we urged Congress to protect CA’s ability to lead the nation in combating climate change: https://t.co/V0OOrmUZKz. — PolitiTweet.org

No, I won’t be quitting my day job. Thx Mike Judge & the great team @SiliconHBO for inviting me to “Take Your Mayor To Work Day.” I admit, I shamelessly did it for the money—a contribution to our San José Promise scholarship program for college students from low-income families. https://t.co/CtWdMUm8jq — PolitiTweet.org

“As cities, we can be a force multiplier,” Liccardo said. “Congress can’t much do in cities across the country. If we’re collectively engaging them, they can’t fight us all.” https://t.co/TdWd6CwkOQ — PolitiTweet.org

“As cities, we can be a force multiplier,” Liccardo said. “What we’re able to do individually, Congress can’t much do in cities across the country. If we’re collectively engaging them, they can’t fight us all.” https://t.co/TdWd6CwkOQ — PolitiTweet.org

In the words of the esteemed philosopher, Kermit the Frog: “it’s not easy being green.” The federal government shouldn’t make it harder. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

San José is reducing its transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, by 12% over a three-year period, but we have a long way to go to even meet the Paris Agreement goals that 400 U.S. mayors and I have embraced. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

CA’s standards helped to reduce these emissions [by improving fuel efficiency and incentivizing the purchase of electric vehicles.] The San José metro has higher EV adoption than any other U.S. city, and 80% of the electricity supplying our grid and charging our EVs is GHG free. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

The tailpipe remains the greatest source of our nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in sprawling, suburban cities like San José, where 63% of our greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Breaths, breakthroughs, and Benjamins should persuade all of us of the foolhardiness of weakening emission standards, but I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t also believe that it will more deeply imperil our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

While some argue that greater fuel efficiency will cost car buyers of new automobiles at the dealership, a sober calculation reveals that the same technology will save drivers three times more at the pump. — PolitiTweet.org

Sensible environmental regulation has helped to prod many of Silicon Valley’s breakthroughs in clean Tech. Our local ecosystem of innovation has birthed [electric cars, buses, and charging infrastructure]. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Breakthroughs: Our ability to protect Americans—and to meet future federal air quality standards—critically depends on the growing adoption of technology, particularly in further development of zero-emission vehicles and the generation of renewable energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Yet we still have much more work to do: The SF Bay Area still exceeds federal standards for ozone and fine particulate matter [responsible for ~ 2.5k premature deaths each year in my region]. Recent wildfires and warming temperatures will only exacerbate the problem. — PolitiTweet.org
