SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTLX) — Last summer for the first time in nearly two decades, California did not have enough power to meet demand, leading to blackouts for hundreds of thousands across the state. 

Now, that concern is coming back around this summer.

“It was rough for all of us in the house,” said Nick McLain. 

In August of 2020, a stage three power emergency by California’s power operator meant periods of no power for McLain and his family in Woodland. 

Why does West LA's Assembly Member Richard Bloom not want Nancy to have a place to recycle? 75-year-old West LA resident Nancy Hannickel  has thousands of cans in her back yard because she has no place to redeem them. She wants you to oppose Bloom's AB 1454, which allows more grocery stores out of their obligation to take back empty bottles and cans and redeem the CRV deposit.

Consumer Watchdog's Jamie Court says California's highest in the nation gas prices must be dealt with through the legislature to reign in oil companies. 

Liza Tucker of Consumer Watchdog discusses California's broken CRV recycling system and how SB 38 will fix it.
