California Legacy Partnership

"Time is overdue to reimagine components of The Williamson Act, and AB 2528 provides a streamlined cancellation option to facilitate faster siting of energy infrastructure, providing relief to both landowners and local communities. By aligning clean energy goals with land availability demands, AB 2528 supports local communities and offers the next generation the promise of a healthy, clean, and prosperous future.”

"Our goal at Almond Alliance has always been to keep farmers farming. In the case of SGMA or any other extenuating circumstances that may limit the options for profitability of a farmer, it is important to have flexibility and optionality for the farmer. For these reasons, the Almond Alliance urges an AYE vote on AB 2528 (Arambula).”

"Although the Laborers, along with other construction trades, have built the vast majority of utility-scale wind and solar, which has made California a global leader, this alone is not enough to address the very real threat of the climate crisis. Addressing both our climate and energy needs is going to take every tool available, including carbon capture and storage, renewable natural gas, biofuels, green and blue hydrogen, aggressive pollution control deployment, offshore wind, geothermal, pumped storage, and the technologies that we don't even know about yet that will become scalable in the years to come. AB 2528 is commonsense legislation that will help the state achieve its goals while providing economic opportunities for farmers.”
