California lawmakers proposed a vague $21 billion climate and energy budget for FY 22-23 that would defer Gov. Gavin Newsom's specific plans, pending talks.

Laws that take effect this year could increase EV charging infrastructure, promote building decarbonization and convert more organic waste to biomethane.

Gov. Gavin Newsom stood in the smoke of Sequoia National Park on Thursday to discuss the $15 billion California is spending on climate resilience.
