First, an Avocado of the Fortnight (3:20) is awarded to Gov. Brown’s State of the State address. Then, Liam and Matt discuss the housing leg in the three-legged stool of greenhouse gas reduction (9:00), the ideological divide among environmental groups on housing(13:45), and the debate over SB 827 (18:30). Finally, an interview with Ethan Elkind, director of the climate program at the Center for Law, Energy and the Environment at UC Berkeley Law (29:00).
