committed California to reduce its emissions of heat-trapping
greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by the year 2020 and to reduce them

these goals, said Matt Rodriguez, California’s secretary for
environmental protection, citing in particular its Renewable Portfolio

electricity from solar, wind, and other renewable sources by 2020."

California’s economy has outpaced the nation’s economic growth. We
attract more than half of the investment capital in the country.”
