On California's SB 100

A statement from Dan Lashof, Director of WRI United States, regarding California's SB 100 legislation and a corresponding Executive Order aimed at achieving a carbon-neutral economy and a clean electricity system by 2045.

• California's SB 100 legislation mandates that 100% of the state's electricity be sourced from zero carbon sources and renewable energy by 2045, with interim mandatory minimum renewable electricity targets of 33% by 2020 and 60% by 2030.
• Governor Jerry Brown signed an Executive Order establishing a goal for California to become carbon neutral by 2045, which Dan Lashof describes as a target to achieve zero net emissions by that date.
• The renewable energy industry in California already employs over 150,000 people, and the mandatory interim targets in SB 100 are expected to drive further expansion of this sector.
