Ahead of his climate summit this week, @JerryBrownGov has signed SB 100, setting goal for 100 percent of California electricity from renewable sources by 2045. He has also signed an executive order for the state to achieve carbon neutrality, also by 2045.
“Today California sends an unmistakable message to the nation and the world,” @kdeleon, who authored SB 100, says. “Regardless of who occupies the White House, California will always lead on climate change.”
“It’s not going to be easy. It will not be immediate. But it must be done,” @JerryBrownGov said. “California is committed to doing whatever is necessary to meet the existential threat of climate change.”
Brown takes no questions at this press conference, despite just announcing a massive new policy intending to make the largest state in the country carbon-neutral within three decades.
