Southern California air regulators are voting today on two proposed regulations to curb smog and lessen pollution that’s heating up the planet. For nearly two years, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which regulates air quality across much of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, has been working to update rules to phase out gas furnaces and water heaters. A recent data analysis by climate think tank Rocky Mountain Institute found that gas-burning equipment in homes and businesses in Greater L.A. produces seven times more smog-forming pollution than the region’s power plants. Environmental advocates say the rules have been watered down significantly and should be stricter, while the gas industry and its partners say the rules will strain the power grid and raise costs for consumers. Today on AirTalk, LAist climate and environment reporter Erin Stone, deputy managing attorney and director of the Right To Zero campaign at Earthjustice Adrian Martinez, and President of the Los Angeles County Business Federation, David Englin, join Larry to discuss the differing arguments in play around these rules.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s relationship imploded this week like a star going supernova as the two took to social media to take jabs at each other. At stake are the future of Musk’s companies, including electric car company Tesla and rocket manufacturer SpaceX, both of which receive government subsidies or contracts. President Trump took to his social media website, Truth Social, yesterday to threaten subsidies to Musk’s companies. Musk then threatened to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which the country’s space agency, NASA, has come to depend on heavily to ferry cargo and astronauts to the International Space Station on a regular basis. Musk later walked back this threat. NASA is said to have few viable alternatives to the Musk-owned company, as many of SpaceX’s competitors are still catching their technology up with the company. Joining Larry to discuss how and why NASA relies so heavily on private contractors is Kenneth Chang, science reporter for The New York Times. With files from the Associated Press.
