Lawyers representing 27 states, utilities, mining firms and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce will deliver oral arguments next Tuesday before a 10-member federal appeals court panel claiming the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan (CPP) represents "regulatory overreach," is an "enormous transformative expansion" of EPA authority by exceeding the powers granted by the Clean Air Act, an unprecedented invasion of state sovereignty and places undue compliance burdens on states. The CPP, announced last year, calls on states to develop schemes that reduce emissions from existing power plants - mostly coal-fired - that will collectively lower them nationally by 32 percent under 2005 levels by 2030. Renewable energy advocates say the plan will be a significant driver of no- and low-carbon power sources like wind, solar and biomass. More>>

Governor Brown Signs Nation's Toughest Super Pollutant Restrictions into Law
The new law, SB 1383, included an amendment to significantly increase renewable gas (including biogas and biomethane) production and use, led by the Bioenergy Association of California. It requires requires that 1) The CEC include recommendations to increase renewable gas, including biogas and biomethane, in next year's Integrated Energy Policy Report; 2) Based on those recommendations, other state agencies, including ARB, the CPUC and CEC must adopt policies and incentives to significantly increase renewable gas; and 3) The CPUC must also consider additional policies and incentives to promote renewable gas.
