We reached a major clean energy milestone.

Thanks in large part to our Million Solar Roofs Initiative, California now generates one gigawatt of power through rooftop solar panels — the equivalent energy of two coal-fired power plants and more than all but five nations worldwide. Policies we helped win — and others for which we're fighting now — will lead to even more solar panels sprouting up on farms, schools, military bases, businesses and homes across the state, reducing air pollution, fighting global warming and creating local jobs.
