California Energy News Update

California continues to see growth in alternative and clean energy initiatives.  Below is a sample of recent notable developments.
Solar Panels on Every Home Starting 2020
The California Energy Commission (CEC) voted on May 9, 2018 to impose additional energy efficiency building standards, including the requirement that starting in 2020, new homes (with some exceptions) have solar panels.  The CEC hopes this will cut energy use in new homes by 50%, and claims that this additional building standard will reduce greenhouse gas emission by an amount equivalent to removing 115,000 fossil fuel cars off the road.
