The state&#8217;s Clean Energy Standard requires 50 percent of electricity to come from renewable energy sources by 2030.<\/p>\n<h2>U.S. Climate Alliance Formed<\/h2>\n<p>As a reaction to President Trump&#8217;s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement , the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/news\/new-york-governor-cuomo-california-governor-brown-and-washington-governor-inslee-announce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> U.S. Climate Alliance<\/a> has been formed between Mr. Cuomo, California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr., and Washington State Governor Jay R. Inslee. Together the Governors will work with other U.S. states committed to observing the Agreement and taking aggressive action on climate change.<\/p>\n<p>California&#8217;s Governor Brown was scathing of President Trump&#8217;s decision last week to withdraw from the Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Donald Trump has absolutely chosen the wrong course. He&#8217;s wrong on the facts. America&#8217;s economy is boosted by following the Paris Agreement,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/news.php?id=19817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he said<\/a>. &#8220;He&#8217;s wrong on the science.
