On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, California Energy Commission Chair David Hoschchild discusses the state's efforts to tackle the climate crisis.

Over the past decade, the state’s use of renewable sources to generate electricity has grown from 41 percent to about 67 percent. How can California lead the clean energy revolution as the Trump administration moves in the opposite direction?
