California has moved a step closer to adopting a 100% clean
energy standard.
The State Senate on Wednesday passed a bill that would
require California load-serving entities to obtain all of their electricity
deliveries from renewable resources by 2045 (SB
100).
Sponsored by Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León, a
Los Angeles Democrat, the bill passed 25-13 along party lines. It now moves to
the State Assembly.
“When it comes to our clean air and climate change, we are
not backing down,” de León said in a statement. “Today, we passed the most
ambitious target in the world to expand clean energy and put Californians to
work.”
