Pity its not until 2045.
Let’s hope its achieved earlier.
Maybe by 2030 its 50/50% both sources of energy….
Am sceptical as to why so far away a target.
Would love to read the agreement signed.

Agree with you, Kamtan. It should be achieved sooner.
Here’s the link to the Legislation HB623. It states a goal of 40% renewable energy by 2030.

Better late than never. Still, it seems something of a compromise that, in a bow to the corporate interests, doesn’t do what is needed.

The corporate stalling techniques may yet jeopardize the future of our species. They’re not concerned; they’re planning on starting a colony on Mars.
