Are California's Renewable Energy Goals Attainable?

Next week, engineers will connect the first utility-size, pure-solar power station to California's electrical grid. It's the next step toward a goal officials have set for the state: to have 33 percent of electrical power from renewable sources by 2020. But is that goal too ambitious? Over the next several months, we'll take a hard look at that question with a series of reports from KQED's Climate Watch and Quest initiatives. In this first report from our series, "33 x 20: California's Clean Power Countdown," we look at California's history and hopes in pioneering renewable energy.
