"AEE commends the Governor for proposing a budget that is fiscally prudent and reinforces California's leadership in advanced energy. Advanced energy is critical to California's future and Governor Brown continues to place a priority on energy investments with a high potential for economic development and job growth. Returning borrowed cap and trade funds for use towards advanced energy programs further reinforces our mutual belief that California's efforts to realize its 2020 emissions goals will accelerate economic development in the state. California's advanced energy industry will continue to work with all elected officials to deliver on this promise."
