Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed legislation requiring California utilities to get one-third of their power from renewable sources, giving the state the most aggressive alternative energy mandate in the U.S.Hey, Moonbeam, here's an idea - how about taking oil from right off our own coast! Yes, there are millions of barrels of oil just sitting there waiting for us to go and get it. We don't have to go thousands of miles.
California utilities and other electricity providers have until the end of 2020 to draw 33 percent of their power from solar panels, windmills and other renewable sources.
Brown signed the bill at a solar panel manufacturing plant near San Jose.
"There are people who think we can drill our way to happiness and prosperity," the Democratic governor told hundreds of plant workers and other supporters gathered to witness the signing.
"Instead of just taking oil from thousands of miles away, we're taking the sun and converting it."
In fact, there's so much that it seeps out of the ocean floor and fouls the beaches. Perhaps we should just go get it and then we wouldn't have to waste money on unicorn and rainbow power.
