With the United Nations Climate Change Conference on the horizon this December in Paris, California could be poised to lead the nation on climate policy.
Leaders of the California state senate last week introduced a package of four bills to sharply cut the use of fossil fuel in the state while boosting the use of renewable energy and requiring more energy efficient buildings.
California Senate Pro-Tem Kevin de Leon announced the introduction of the bills at a press conference Tuesday at the state capitol, flanked by Democratic colleagues, renewable energy entrepreneurs, environmental leaders, consumer advocates, labor representatives, and workers in hard hats employed in the renewable energy sector.
