A New Law Requires California to get 33 percent Electricity from Renewable Sources by 2020

摘要

California: Highlighting California's central role in the cleantech economy, Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed into law an ambitious mandate that requires the state's utilities to get 33 percent of their electricity from renewable sources like geothermal, wind, and solar by 2020. The move, which gives California the most aggressive clean energy standard in the nation, is expected to create cleantech jobs up and down the state as utilities race to secure contracts with renewable energy power producers.
