Climate advocates on Monday asked the California Supreme Court to reverse a new rooftop solar panel policy in the state that the groups say has proven 'irony is alive and well,' as the policy is impeding the expansion of renewable energy in California just as regulators are calling for a solution to the state's energy crisis.
''We are talking about the largest solar market in the country,' Del Chiaro added. 'This was the most impactful energy decision, easily, for this century so far.'EWG accused California regulators of holding a 'confused position' on energy sources, as the group is also challenging a separate decision by the state in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
