CA must then be the only place in our whole world, where hydroelectric is out-ruled as renewable energy! Hurrah!

"did you know that hydroelectric power doesn't count as "renewable" according to California?"
Large dams. I think small scale and run of river still count. I don't know whether pumped hydro counts, but there will be a new off-stream dam (maybe) on the west side of the Valley. sitesproject.org

" produce 60 percent of their electricity from renewable sources like solar and wind by 2030"
That could mean 70% carbon-free. AFAIK, our goal is zero emissions, not 100% renewable.
