In 2015, Governor Jerry Brown signed a law that gave California until 2030 to have 50 percent of its electricity come from renewable energy. According to a new report released this month, it seems the Golden state may reach or surpass this goal by 2020. Tax incentives, along with staggering drops in the price of wind and solar, have triggered a massive growth in renewables. California won’t stop there though. It wants to use 100 percent renewable energy by 2045, and is considering a ban on non-electric vehicles.
California is on target to reach its renewable energy goals a decade in advance
