Spurred by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) recent actions to cut environmental regulations, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on March 21 an accelerated plan to launch satellites to track and reduce methane emissions.
The move is part of Newsom’s new role as co-chair of America Is All In, a coalition of state and local leaders who vow to cut emissions in half by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
