Governor in California Signs Bill To Increase Energy Efficiency
California Jerry Brown signed the Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015, which lays out plans to reduce air pollution and increase energy efficiency.
To double the amount of energy efficiency in the state, the bill creates efficiency targets for electrical and gas companies and requires that at least 50 percent of electricity sold to retail customers annually come from renewable energy resources. The act fulfills promises made by Brown in his 2015 inaugural address and expands previous energy legislation enacted in 2011.
