Neues Klimaschutzgesetz für Kalifornien Ereignis

US-Gouverneur Jerry Brown setzte am 7. Oktober 2015 ein neues ehrgeiziges Klimaschutzgesetz in Kalifornien in Kraft. Nach dem Gesetz will der Bundesstaat Kalifornien bis zum Jahr 2030 die Hälfte seines Stromverbrauchs aus erneuerbaren Energien decken und die Energieeffizienz von Gebäuden soll verdoppelt werden.

On 7 October 2015, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed landmark legislation - SB 350 by Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) - that establishes world-leading energy efficiency and renewable energy goals for California. Governor Brown signed the legislation from the East Terrace of the Griffith Observatory overlooking the City of Los Angeles and was joined by dozens of government, climate, business, environmental justice and community leaders. SB 350 codifies goals Governor Brown laid out in his January 2015 inaugural address to double the rate of energy efficiency savings in California buildings and generate half of the state's electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
