The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Monday, Dec. 23.

In today’s episode:

Alex McCourt, an assistant professor at the Center for Gun Violence Solutions at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, explains what ghost guns are and what is being done to stop them.

Also, the California Public Utilities Commission approved PG&E’s request to increase rates by around $3 a month in January and again in March.

Plus, California has an ambitious goal to make the state carbon-neutral by 2045. Transitioning from gas-fueled to electric vehicles is key to making that happen.
