We all know one of the best ways to make money is to get into an industry on the ground floor. Imagine investing in a gold field at the start of the gold rush or oil rich land at the start of the gusher age…how vastly your personal fortune would differ. Investing in those areas today are just too expensive and with all the desire and competition to get in, the returns are just not what they once were. Remember oil is simply energy. Right now is the beginning of the renewable energy era; energy that never runs out. Have you invested in high-growth development-ready renewable energy land? This is the opportunity of your lifetime; seize it.
California is and has been leading the clean energy movement in the US. In 2002, California started the most aggressive clean energy mandate in the country, its Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program, requiring the state to be 20% renewable by 2017. The goal required utilities to have 20% of all the energy sold come from renewable sources or they would face steep fines/penalties. In 2006, California accelerated the 20% goal to 2010, and by 2011 codified into law a new target, 33% renewable by 2020.
Furthermore, in 2015, California added a mandate to be 50% renewable by 2030. As of today, California is over 27% renewable and on track to meeting the 33% mandate by the end of this decade. Earlier this year a new bill was introduced and is being circulated for approval that proposes a mandate of 100% renewable by 2045.

Earlier this month, President Trump backed the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement, a global agreement within the United Nations where 148 countries have agreed to reduce emissions and implement renewable energy goals to mitigate global warming. President Trump's position is clear, a $2 trillion U.S. investment into clean energy will only cause a 0.2% degree celsius drop in global temperature by the year 2100 which is a poor investment of $2 trillion. MIT and other sources disagree that the change will only be 0.2% degree Celsius and that the statements President Trump made were not accurate.
California has long been regarded as the nation’s leader in clean energy. A remarkable, one out of four renewable energy jobs in the nation are in California. California has decided to step up as a global leader along with New York and Washington. Together, the states have started a "climate alliance" that will work towards upholding the Paris Agreement and they have been encouraging other states to join.

As a leader in innovation, California is once again introducing new solution; strengthening its soil to help draw more carbon into the ground. California's Central Valley (CV) is comprised primarily of farmland and is the reason that California is and has been the number one food provider in the U.S. for over 50 years. In short, the CV has a lot of open land prime for cultivation. By strengthening the soil in the CV, large quantities of carbon dioxide can be absorbed by plants through photosynthesis.
The main takeaway is that California will continue to be a global leader in renewable energy well into the next couple of decades. Smart investors are positioning themselves into California areas that have been identified as high-growth renewable energy locations. These areas have already experienced attractive returns, it's only a matter of time before these areas sky rocket in value.
