California just took another step on the road to becoming the second U.S. state to set a mandate that utilities must move towards sourcing 100% of their electricity from renewable energy and other sources that do not emit CO2.
加州刚刚迈出了另一步,迈向美国第二个设立公用事业的公司,公用事业必须采取措施,从可再生能源和其他不排放二氧化碳的能源中获取100%的电力。
On a 10-5 vote, this morning California time the Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee approved SB100, a bill that will set a 100% by 2045 clean energy policy. The bill now goes to the full Assembly for a vote, and if approved will go to Governor Jerry Brown (D), who is expected to sign it.
今天上午,在10比5的投票中,加利福尼亚公用事业和能源委员会批准通过了SB100法案,该法案将在2045年制定100%的清洁能源政策。该法案现在提交全体大会进行表决,如果获得批准,将由总督杰里·布朗(D)负责,预计他将签署该议案。
SB100 was introduced by former Senate President Pro Tempore Kevin De León (D) in January 2017, and has had a long and arduous path. The bill initially passed the Senate in May 2017, but got stuck in Assembly committees, and it has taken another 10 months to get the bill to where it is today.
SB100由前参议院主席临时Kevin De León(D)于2017年1月推出,并且有着漫长而艰辛的道路。该法案最初于2017年5月通过了参议院,但却被大会委员会所困,而且还需要10个月的时间才能将法案提交给今天的法案。
Advocates pulled out all the stops to pass the bill through the Utilities and Energy Committee, including delivering 38,000 messages in support of the bill today. SB100 is supported by Vote Solar, Environment California and a number of climate organizations, as well as the American Lung Association.
倡导者全力以赴通过公用事业和能源委员会通过该法案,包括今天提供38,000条支持该法案的信息。 SB100由Vote Solar,Environment California和许多气候组织以及美国肺脏协会提供支持。
If passed by the Assembly, California will become the second state to set a 100% mandate, after Hawaii, which also has a timeline of 2045 to reach this target. The next-most ambitious policy is in Vermont, which has set a 75% by 2032 mandate.
如果大会通过,加利福尼亚将成为继夏威夷之后设定100%任务的第二个州,夏威夷也有2045年的时间表来实现这一目标。下一个最雄心勃勃的政策是在佛蒙特州,到2032年已经确定了75%。
However, unlike renewable portfolio standards in Hawaii and Vermont, SB100 is not limited to renewable energy. The bill clearly spells out that utilities must source 100% of their power from renewable energy and “zero-carbon resources”, which could include nuclear power.
然而,与夏威夷和佛蒙特州的可再生能源组合标准不同,SB100不仅限于可再生能源。该法案明确规定公用事业必须从可再生能源和“零碳资源”中获取100%的电力,其中包括核电。
However, as the nuclear technologies which are currently commercialized are much more expensive than wind and solar – as well as being unpopular in California – it is unlikely that new nuclear power plants will get built under this policy.
然而,由于目前商业化的核技术比风能和太阳能昂贵得多 - 而且在加利福尼亚不受欢迎 - 因此新核电站不太可能在这一政策下建成。
SB100 does increase California’s timeline for implementation, calling for the state’s utilities to procure 60% of their power from renewables by 2030, instead of the current 50%.
SB100确实增加了加利福尼亚州的实施时间表,要求该州的公用事业公司在2030年之前从可再生能源中采购60%的电力,而不是目前的50%。
