Overview
Communities for a Better Environment has made significant progress in preventing increased global warming and smog-forming pollution in Los Angeles through a multiyear campaign for clean alternatives for a proposed widening of the I-710 Freeway to accommodate growing port traffic. This goods-movement campaign will be ramped down over the next year, while a new focus on clean electricity is ramped up. The Program will promote clean energy policies within several state regulatory agencies and at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The Program will lend a much-needed community-based voice to counter utilities in several proceedings that will set renewable energy policy in the state for years to come.
