Gavin Newsom: California leads the way on green energy

He gave the keynote address at Sonoma County Conservation Action's "Grassroots Gala," an annual event that honors local environmental leaders. Newsom pushed back on Trump's contention that pivoting toward a fossil fuel-free world would irretrievably harm the U.S. economy. "What is so wrong about de-carbonizing your economy? What's so wrong about what California's done? Seven years, 2.7 million jobs, 2.9 percent GDP (growth)," he said.
