Editorial: Highway 37 plan makes sense, timeline does not

Caltrans’ recommendation that Highway 37 be replaced with a four-lane elevated causeway makes sense, both for accommodating growing traffic and for the environment. But its estimated 20-year timeline to get it built doesn’t. Especially for those motorists who are regularly stuck in a time-killing traffic jam on the mostly two-lane road from Highway 101 in Novato to Vallejo and Interstate 80. State Sen. Mike McGuire, who has paid close attention to this issue, says he has “a … Continue Reading

Close to Home: Envisioning the Klamath without dams

The beleaguered Klamath River Basin is finally getting good news. The recommendation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to advance Klamath dam removal sets a path for a more sustainably managed river - something we haven't seen for more than a century. It won't solve every problem in the Klamath Basin, but it bodes well for the future. Klamath dam removal will be the largest salmon restoration project in history - a remarkable victory for the tribes and downstream communities that rely… Continue Reading

Close to Home: The view from Glasgow climate summit

Climate change is the greatest moral, economic and environmental imperative we are facing as a country - and as a planet - and the policy decisions we make today will impact every future generation. Rising temperatures, severe weather, mass extinction of wildlife, food shortages, historic refugee crises: the consequences of inaction are significant, and the solutions grow more expensive with every passing year. This is the reality on everyone's mind as I arrive Monday for the second week of the… Continue Reading

Ban on new offshore drilling must stay in the Build Back Better Act

The oil spill off the coast of Southern California is an ecological and economic disaster. Estimates suggest that tens of thousands of gallons of oil have spilled from an offshore pipeline, and it has spread across the coasts of three counties. Dead birds and fish washed ashore, local beaches were closed, boaters were being asked to stay away, and all fishing was curtailed for the area. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last as long as offshore dril… Continue Reading
