Governor Schwarzenegger has vowed to veto the new legislature approved energy standard because it limits power production to inside the state only. The Governor plans to issue an executive order for 33% of the states power to be produced by renewable sources by 2020 without the in-state limit.

Either way, California will end up with the largest renewable energy standard in the country. The state is already requiring its largest utilities to get 20 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2010 - a goal none of them are likely to meet.
