Proposed legislation that would diversify California's energy
portfolio by requiring energy retail sellers to procure 500 megawatts of
electricity from baseload geothermal power plants in the next 10 years
continues to move through the state Legislature.
Senate Bill 1139 advanced from the Assembly Appropriations Committee
today and is expected to go before the full Assembly for a floor vote sometime
before the Legislature's end-of-the-month voting deadline.
