Climate action projects across the nation, including in California, will get $600 million more in federal funding, President Joe Biden announced during a tour of a nature preserve in northern California on June 19.

California’s share—$67 million—will help build power lines and other transmission infrastructure, and support the state’s transition to 100 percent clean energy, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office.
