The California Assembly has passed the SB 100 bill, which requires the state to reach The 40% carbon-free electricity by 2045. The bill requires 60% renewable energy and 40% electricity from non-carbon emitting sources. 100% non-carbon requirement is also likely to be renewables because nuclear power plants would be unable to compete on cost and flexibility. California's renewable portfolio standard (RPS) policy of 60% by 2030 now sits behind Vermont's RPS of 75% by 2032, and Hawaii's RPS of The 40% by 2045.
