The rules will deal with most newly-built residential (住宅的) buildings up to three stories high.The move is California’s latest step aimed at reaching renewable energy targets and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.California has set a goal of filling half of its electricity needs with renewable energy by 2030.

He sent an email to the head of California’s Energy mission to urge the state to reconsider its decision.He expressed his belief that it is a mistake for California to approve such a policy instead of centering on efforts to develop large solar farms to produce renewable en。
