The RPS program requires electric corporations to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources by at least 1% of their retail sales annually, until they reach 20% by 2010 and to 33% by 2020. But it doens’t penalize them or punish them in any way if they don’t meet the requirement.

I haven’t endorsed anyone else running for office in any race in 2010, but I’m endorsing you. I appreciate your help and support on key environmental issues and you can count on my help and support in your upcoming election. I want to make sure you get to keep on doing what you’re doing without interruption.

And by that I mean the end of 2010. Perhaps what they should have said is THEIR technology isn’t ready yet. But Nissan has the litium ion battery and tons of desirable, very cool features ready for prime time right here and right now. And the Greenius says this looks like the smart money bet to me.

So far GM, Toyota, Nissan, VW, Mitsubishi, have all announced plug in vehicles they will have for sale in 2010. You’ll also be finished forever with things like oil changes, tune ups, new air filters and the other maintenance that isn’t necessary with electric cars. That’s 18 months away. So don’t buy another car until you can go electric.

California has a Renewable Portfolio Standard that calls for us to be at 20% renewable energy this year, 2010. And because the utilities hate rooftop solar so much, we won’t be making any 2010 renewable portfolio deadlines and you can put money on the fact that we won’t get to the 33% we’re supposed to be at in 2020 either.

The President of Icelandic, Jon Olafsson, likes to act like a superior, environmentally-driven smart guy but there’s nothing smart about a dude who didn’t learn the easy to understand lesson taught by the Story of Bottled Water way back in 2010.

2010 was the most extreme year of weather in the history of planet earth and anyone who tells you it wasn’t is just another Jackass who you probably shouldn’t ride in the passenger seat with – even if you ARE looking for a fast and furious thrill ride to brighten up your otherwise dull and dreary existence.

And Frank was similarly clueless about the new EV Nissan that’s rolling out at the end of 2010 in lucky Tenn, Oregon and Sonoma County, Calif. I don’t think Frank knows that car is a production model and will cost Americans only $22,500 after the new tax credits ($7,500) that were just signed by President Obama.

Putting it in a policy perspective from my position here on the Lower Left Coast of the Golden State, statewide we’re at almost 13% renewable energy, but our prescient AB 32 mandates call for us to be at 20% in 2010 - which according to my calendar is just 9 months away.

to 20% by next year, 2010. Our conditions for producing clean, renewable solar power here in Southern California far exceed those in Germany and Spain. And our state’s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 mandates that we increase our production of renewable energy from the current 13.5%

And we’re never going to meet our RPS goals for 2010 or 2020 unless we start putting solar on a whole lot of rooftops because its going to take years and years to get the big solar built and connected to the grid. I think that will be our argument with the Governor.

I am particularly disappointed that a bipartisan provision on which I labored to boost outdoor lighting efficiency by 25% by 2010 was gutted in the course of trading for votes. But in assembling a bill that will garner enough votes to pass, many troubling changes and compromises were made.
