The Air Resources Board seeks public comment on proposed amendments to Cal. Code Regs. tit. 17, §§97000, 97001, 97002, 97003, 97004, 97005, 97006, 97007, 97008, 97009, 97010, 97011, and 97012. The amendments would create a California Renewable Energy Standard requiring providers of electricity to demonstrate, by 2020, that at least 33 percent of the electricity produced came from a renewable energy source, and allowing for providers to bank and trade renewable energy credits. The law would affect all energy providers who sell 200,000 MWh or more per year. There will be a public hearing on July 22, 2010, and the deadline for written comments is July 21. http://www.oal.ca.gov/res/docs/pdf/notice/23z-2010.pdf pp. 829-35.
