California Requires Solar Panels on All Homes and Windmills on All Farms

The California Senate Majority Leader Kevin de León has introduced a new bill that would mandate the Golden State get all of its electricity from renewable sources by 2045. This replaces a law that was passed in 2016 that dictated that renewable energy sources be 50% of all electricity produced by 2030. This bill moves that requirement up to 2025 with the 50% edict and establishes the new 100% standard 20 years later.

What has not been widely discussed in the press – and buried in the details of the bill – is that all new homes and all homes sold must have solar panels as their source of energy. All apartment buildings with more than four units must install solar panels by 2025, and all commercial and office buildings must do the same. As for farms, they must commit 25% of their acreage to windmills.

“If they really cared about overweight women they would force them to park farthest away so they would get much needed exercise.”

I’ve always thought the same.

“Actually you can thank George HW Bush for that. He’s the one that signed the ADA into law and it’s potentially the worst federal business, especially small business, killing regulation ever passed...”

Tell me about it...and worst of all, where were all those ‘moderates’ and Democrats when Bush needed their support to get re-elected. Why they all went to Bill Clinton, ANYWAY!

Bush thought he could co-opt the Democrat Party’s issues, and instead he got his head handed to him. Bush’s kid thought the same too, although not quite as much, and he too got humiliated. TRUMP IS SMART - he seems to have learned that there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that people on our side can do as far as reaching out to Democrats, without getting bitten. It is fun to watch!

Why don’t they mandate all solar and electric cars? Why not windmills on cars, as long as the car is moving there would be enough power to turn a windmill. Free energy, right!?

From Kevin de Leon: “I can tell you half of my family would be eligible for deportation under [President Donald Trump’s] executive order, because if they got a false Social Security card, if they got a false identification, if they got a false driver’s license prior to us passing AB60, if they got a false green card, and anyone who has family members, you know, who are undocumented knows that almost entirely everybody has secured some sort of false identification. That’s what you need to survive, to work. They are eligible for massive deportation.”

Testifying before the Senate Public Safety Committee, De Léon defended the widespread practice by illegal aliens of using fraudulent documents to work and obtain taxpayer-paid benefits, dismissing any concerns California citizens may have about being the target of identity theft.

"The California Senate Majority Leader Kevin de León has introduced a new bill..."

Misleading headline. If it's only a bill that's been introduced then California isn't requiring anything.

ATTENTION! Not responsible for the writers misuse of wording and misleading headlines. (aka fake news). Basically a heads up to our cali FReepers to be on the look out for asinine legislation. Of course in cali that’s not unusual.

I'd like to suggest it be 110% by next year to pay for all of Californians past environmental sins.

I didn’t say it was your misleading headline. It is the headline on the linked story. It’s still misleading.

Pretty much every time a story is posted about a bill that’s been introduced there’s a certain number of people that think it’s a new law. It’s worth pointing out the distinction.

“Build with rock?”

Rock can be radioactive—especially granite!
