"In fact, as far as they're concerned, climate solutions and affordability go hand-in-hand. A recent poll conducted by California Environmental Voters found that roughly 2 in 3 likely voters favor increasing the state's investment in clean energy, believe the cost of electric vehicles should come down and think billion-dollar corporations with major environmental impacts should pay to offset climate-driven increases in the cost of home insurance."
"The reality is, the climate crisis is driving an affordability crisis, said California Environmental Voters CEO Mary Creasman. These unnatural disasters are driving up energy costs, insurance costs, grocery bills, water rates and more. Corporate greed and climate impacts are creating an economic crisis."

Corporate greed and climate impacts are contributing to an economic crisis. A climate-focused gubernatorial forum in Pasadena invited top-polling candidates, including Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter, Tom Steyer and Eric Swalwell.
