Environmentalists say governor’s budget cuts
jeopardize climate programs, electric car mandate
By Nadia Lopez | CalMatters
Summary:
Newsom’s proposal to slash $6 billion in funding “unquestionably hurts the state more in the long-term,” one climate activist said
_______________________________________________________________________
Environmentalists slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom for slashing billions of dollars from initiatives that the governor has repeatedly called top priorities: efforts to combat climate change and transition to zero-emission vehicles.
Facing a projected $22.5 billion deficit, Newsom proposed to eliminate $6 billion in climate spending in his 2023-24 budget. The governor helped push a five-year $54 billion climate package approved by the Legislature during last year’s session, but he now proposes to cut it to $48 billion.
More than half of those proposed cuts – $3.3 billion – come from the state’s clean transportation initiatives. Newsom hopes to offset those reductions with federal funds and perhaps a new bond reserve, but the move comes just five months after the state approved a historic mandate for electrifying cars.
Now climate advocates are questioning whether the state will be able to fund its ambitious electrification efforts and ensure California transitions to clean cars as it faces an economic downturn.
“We recognize the financial situation, but this is exactly what we’ve been nervous about,” said Mike Young, political and organizing director at California Environmental Voters, an advocacy group. “We actually need to be investing and defending more of our climate investments and really pushing for that. We can’t get out of our situation if we’re going backwards.”

Microsoft AI can copy a human
voice with only a 3-second sample
By Alex Blake
Microsoft recently released an artificial intelligence tool that’s able to copy the sound of a person’s voice after hearing just three seconds of speech. According to WindowsCentral, Microsoft’s technology, called VALL-E, can also replicate the emotions of the speaker, a feature that sets it apart from some of the other similar AI powered technologies. Audio clips generated by VALL-E can be found on GitHub. Some are better than others, but the best ones are very impressive and could easily be mistaken for a real voice.
