Gov. Jerry Brown Signs Law to Move California to Carbon-Free Energy by 2045
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In more climate change news, California Governor Jerry Brown has signed
a new law to shift California to 100 percent carbon-free electricity by
2045.

Jerry Brown: "There's no understating the importance of this measure.
SB100 is sending a message to California and to the world that we are
going to meet the Paris agreement, and we are going to continue down
that path to transition our economy to zero emissions, zero carbon
emissions, and to have the resiliency and the sustainability that
science tells us we must achieve."

That was California Governor Jerry Brown speaking Monday ahead of the
Global Climate Action Summit here in San Francisco. Democracy Now! will
be broadcasting live from San Francisco all week.
