纽森与施瓦辛格Long Beach同台纪念加州气候法20年 清洁能源与储能数据成焦点
Long Beach——加州州长加文·纽森与前州长阿诺德·施瓦辛格10月14日在Long Beach会议中心举行的加州经济峰会上同台对谈，纪念加州《全球变暖解决方案法》（AB 32）签署20周年。这部法律由施瓦辛格于2006年在旧金山宝藏岛签署，是全美首个全面限制温室气体排放的州级法律框架。
AB 32设定的目标是到2020年将加州温室气体排放降至1990年水平，州政府称这一目标已提前实现。法律催生了2013年开始运行的加州碳市场（现称「总量与投资」计划），州议会去年已将该计划延长至2045年。
纽森在对谈中列举数据称，加州七年间新增清洁能源装机3.9万兆瓦，电池储能达到2.3万兆瓦；自AB 32签署以来，碳市场收入中已有160亿美元再投入用于抵减居民电费，未来四年预计再投入80亿美元。施瓦辛格表示，加州已创造超过50万个清洁能源岗位，他说：「我们向世界展示了一个州这样的地方政府能做成什么。」
对这部法律的批评声音也出现在报道中。太平洋研究所（Pacific Research Institute）经济学家韦恩·怀恩加登（Wayne Winegarden）对《中心广场》（The Center Square）表示，其他一些州没有采用加州式规制、减排速度也高于全国平均水平，并认为加州居民承担了相应的成本。分析人士指出，加州距离2030年减排40%、2045年减排85%的更严目标仍有差距。

Newsom and Schwarzenegger Mark 20 Years of California's Climate Law in Long Beach
Long Beach — Governor Gavin Newsom and former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared together on October 14 at the California Economic Summit in Long Beach to mark 20 years since the signing of Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which Schwarzenegger signed on Treasure Island in San Francisco as the nation's first comprehensive state program to cap greenhouse gas emissions.
AB 32 set a target of returning California's emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, a goal state officials say was reached early. The law led to California's carbon market, now called cap-and-invest, which began operating in 2013 and was extended by the Legislature through 2045 last year.
Newsom said California has added 39,000 megawatts of clean energy in seven years and built 23,000 megawatts of battery storage, and that $16 billion has been reinvested to help offset residents' electric bills since AB 32 was signed, with another $8 billion expected over the next four years. Schwarzenegger said the law helped create more than half a million clean-energy jobs.
Critics also weighed in. Economist Wayne Winegarden of the Pacific Research Institute told The Center Square that other states have cut emissions faster than the national average without California-style regulations, and analysts note the state is not on track for its tougher targets of a 40% cut by 2030 and an 85% cut by 2045.
