It would create a strategic plan to lease land in rights-of-way for developing renewable energy generation, energy storage and transmission lines. This plan would analyze how much space along highways is suitable for solar power infrastructure and set targets for the amount of solar developed by 2030 and 2045.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThank you to President Atkins, Sen. Becker, and all Senators who helped pass this important bill.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCalifornia has long been a leader in harnessing the clean energy potential of solar power, and solar panels are an increasingly common feature on rooftops throughout the state. However, we must take advantage of additional areas to accommodate solar infrastructure quickly with little controversy. Using the <\/span>space beside highways for solar<\/span><\/a> is a proven way to generate clean, renewable energy that can also generate significant revenue for the state.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn addition to the strong bipartisan approval from the California Senate, the federal government deemed this commonsense solution a \u201c<\/span>net-zero game changer<\/span><\/a>\u201d that can help keep California\u2019s climate commitments on track.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNext, we must make sure SB 49 passes the California Assembly to fulfill the state\u2019s potential to go solar along highways. <\/span>Tell your state legislator to support putting solar along highways and over parking lots.<\/b><\/a>","":null}}],"featured_content":[4537]},"yoast_head":"\nCalifornia Senate emphatically
