Call/write to Gov Brown sign SB 100 (Clean Energy).

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-renewable-energy-goal-bill-20180828-story.html

I just returned from the Rise for Renewable Energy/CLIMATE CRISIS rally and one of the speakers helped get SB100 written. Now we are urging Californians to contact Gov Brown to sign it before he leaves office. We will be one of the first states to have 100% renewable energy.
"The bill, which would require California to obtain 100% of its power from clean sources by 2045, has been debated by lawmakers for nearly two years as it faced cost and feasibility concerns. This week, high-profile state and national politicians gave the cause a push by arguing the plan would strengthen California’s leadership on the environment."
In addition to the 2045 target, Senate Bill 100 would also require electric utilities and other service providers to generate 60% of their power from renewable sources by 2030, up from the current 50% goal set for that date.
The bill now heads to the Senate for a vote. If it is signed by the governor, California would become the second state in the U.S. to rely solely on clean energy by 2045. Hawaii was the first to implement such a plan."
