California Wind Energy for Half the State by 2030

UPDATE: California wants renewable energy for half its power by 2030. (2015, October 7). Retrieved November 20, 2015, from http://www.signalscv.com/section/287/article/143310/

This article talks about how California wants to switch at least half of it’s energy to renewable energy such as wind energy, by 2030. This is up from a mandate in 2006 that stated that ⅓ of California’s energy must be renewable energy by 2020. This is very good news for the state which already uses large amounts of wind energy to keep its air clean.

A key part of environmental science, is keeping our air clean and trying to stop the effects of global warming. This new mandate in california will help to have more wind energy and help keep air clean of fossil fuels.

  1. I agree that it would be a valuable step in the right direction to turn to wind energy to benefit the health of the environment while also curbing our dependence on nonrenewable energy sources.

  2. I was unaware of CA’s intentions to rely on wind energy for half its power. Was this a recent announcement or a bill signed by the state government?
