On January 5, during Governor Brown’s inaugural address for his 4th term, the Governor announced 3 ambitious carbon-reduction goals.

1. Increase from 33% to 50% electricity derived from renewable sources;
2. Reduce today’s petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50%; and
3. Double the efficiency of existing buildings and making heating fuels cleaner.

Stay tuned. This means lots of new regulations and initiatives in California in the near future as the various agencies figure out how to achieve these goals!
