Can California Really Achieve 85% Carbon-Free Electricity By 2030?
* In the contest to be the most virtuous of all the states on the “carbon-free” electricity metric, the race is on between California and New York. * In 2018 California enacted a bill going by the name “SB100,” which set a mandatory target of 60% of electricity from “renewables” by 2030 (and 100% by 2045). Not to be outdone, New York responded by enacting its “Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act” in 2019, setting its own statutory targets of 70% of electricity from renewables by 2030 (and 100% by 2040). * So is any of this real?

Obama wanted to downplay the conflict between the West and ISIS in order not to rally more people to ISIS's side, and while he may have been slow off the mark, he set in motion a campaign that gradually degraded ISIS, a... read more
