“Powering the most populous and prosperous state in the country on 100 percent carbon-free electricity is bold, aspirational and achievable. Technology is already available to help the grid run on very large quantities of renewables, and the cost of investments needed to make this happen are coming down. We applaud Senate Leader de León for his vision and leadership. This bill will jump-start the research effort to securely ease us off fossil fuels. Showing the world how to run a grid on 100 percent carbon-free generation would provide a blueprint for significant cuts in global warming emissions."
