Editor,
In California, we have been deeply impacted by countless smoky days and wildfires. The L.A. fires, alone, have cost us over $250 billion. San Mateo County citizens, specifically, have also suffered severe flooding and droughts.Â

Well Archita - could you identify the gross polluters? Don't you realize that any penalties that they have to pay will be passed on to your parents and you will be stuck with them once you are a tax payer? The fire in LA was caused by an inept city administration. Most wild fires are caused naturally or by poorly maintained electricity distribution systems. Should you wish to be informed, PG&E, SDG&E and SCE now have been allowed to soak their customers with those repair bills for infrastructure that they failed to maintain. The Act that you are so fond of, will simply mean a higher cost of living for Californians without effecting anything climate related. Do some critical thinking with your team and face reality before you write a column.
