Abstract
California is famous for the sun, wind, and waves that draw millions of visitors and thousands of new residents each year. But can California's most famous natural resources power half of its electric grid? The state may soon find out. In the inaugural address for his record fourth term in office, California Governor Jerry Brown set a goal of deriving 50% of electricity from renewable resources by 2030, as part of a continuation of California's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.Keywords
