ISO issues Flex Alert for Energy Conservation Tomorrow as Extreme Heat Forecast & Consumer Help will be Key to Preventing Outages |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/16/2021 06:49 PM
|
Folsom, CA...The California Independent System Operator (ISO), with extreme heat forecast for much of California and the Southwest, has issued a statewide Flex Alert to encourage electricity conservation tomorrow from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. to reduce stress on the grid and avoid power outages. When past Flex Alerts have been called, consumers have answered the call and cut back their electricity use. Those actions have helped California avoid or limit power outages that can, if conditions persist or worsen, become necessary when demand for electricity outstrips capacity.

Attorney General Bonta Calls on SEC to Require U.S. Companies to Disclose Financial Risk from Climate Change |
|
Posted by: News_Desk on 06/16/2021 11:00 PM
|
Oakland, CA... California Attorney General Rob Bonta last Monday, the 14th led a coalition of 12 attorneys general in urging the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to require U.S. companies to provide detailed and accurate information about the financial risk they face from climate change. The need to mandate such disclosures is urgent and falls squarely within existing SEC authority. In the past five years alone, climate change-related weather events cost U.S. companies more than $600 billion in direct economic damages. Mandatory climate change-related disclosures are essential to insulate U.S. and global financial systems from systemic risk associated with climate change and to protect investors, including the many ordinary Americans whose retirement savings are largely investment-based.
