Top Newsom Replacement Candidate Jenny Rae Le Roux Releases “Smart Environment” Plan to Snuff Out Wildfires
REDDING -- Businesswoman and Candidate for Governor Jenny Rae Le Roux today released her “Smart Environment” plan to address California’s wildfire crisis.
Le Roux stated, “Climate change is Gavin’s Newsom’s favorite excuse for doing nothing, but something must be done. We must sustainably manage our forests – there is more fuel to burn than ever before. Uncontrollable wildfires destroy animal habitat, air quality, property, and lives.”
Le Roux’s 4-step plan is ready to be implemented on her 1st day in office, and includes:
1. Managing 1M acres of forest with the federal government. In August 2020, the federal government agreed to manage 500,000 acres of forest per year in California by 2025. Le Roux’s administration will ensure California manages another 500,000 acres broken up as follows: private landowners managing 250,000 to 300,000 acres, expedited biomass permits supporting 200,000 acres, and increasing prescribed burn acreage to 50,000 acres from the 11,000 acres Newsom managed last year.
2. Deregulating sustainable timber harvesting. Timber harvesting has dropped 25% since 2002 and 70% since 1975, and California forests now contain hundreds of trees per acre instead of the recommended 40 per acre. Private companies that harvest timber own 14% of California forests - they should be enlisted as valuable partners in the fight to manage wildfire risk and reduce the cost of housing in California.
3. Deregulating Forest Road Construction by streamlining permit and mapping requirements. Fire access is critical for rapid, effective suppression activities.
4. Making state dollars available for the burying of power lines, which cause 10% of California’s wildfires but account for 40-60% of total acres burned on average.
Le Roux continued, saying “We know what we need to do to stop our wildfire problems. We owned a rental house that was consumed in the 2018 Carr Fire. Afterwards, we extended fire breaks around our home by increasing rangeland and developed a new emergency fire escape plan. We film the contents of our storage and house every year in case we need to itemize for insurance. My kids missed their first days of school this year because the air quality was so bad in Redding that the school couldn’t open. This is no way to live. This is personal for me, and as Governor, I will get this done.”
