Posted on September 20, 2013

That depends on how you measure it.

The Future.

California, Minnesota, Maine, Colorado, and New York have the strongest regulations to require renewable power in the future as a portion of their total. Each has a target to achieve 30% or more at or before the end of the decade. (Hawaii receives an honorable mention with a target of 40% by 2030, but only 25% by 2020.) More at:

No matter how you measure it, the good news is that most states have RPS. For more on this, see:
