"SACRAMENTO – A measure that would require utilities to have 20 percent of their electricity produced from renewable sources passed a key legislative committee yesterday."

The ultimate expression of arrogance by those who think they're gods by being elected. Are they going to "require" that the sun shine and the wind blow a certain percent of the time too? How about timing. Are they going to mandate that the wind and sun produce power just at the time people use it?

Sheesh!! Liberalism must mean being liberated from the thought process.

Sher's bill, and a companion bill that allows funds raised by a public-goods charge to be used to help offset the higher cost of renewable energy, were approved by the Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee after languishing there for a year.

I wonder what the deal is with that companion bill. But, I think we know. It's a TAX imposed on something to subsidize the uneconomic renewable energy sources.

The upshot is that Californians will pay even more for their energy in the future and be taxed more as well. However, they will all feel good about themselves and the environment.
