BEIJING Taking Californias climate push to the global stage, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today met with President Xi Jinping of the Peoples Republic of China and signed an agreement with Chinas Minister of Science and Technology to deepen cooperation on the development of green technology.
Governor Brown met with President Xi for approximately 45 minutes at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The Governor and President discussed the importance of expanding cooperation on green technology, innovation and trade.
California is the leading economic state in America and we are also the pioneering state on clean technology, cap and trade, electric vehicles and batteries, but we cant do it alone, said Governor Brown during his meeting with President Xi. I have proposed that California will cut its greenhouse gases 40 percent below 1990 levels and that well have 50 percent of our electricity from renewables. To keep that goal, we need a very close partnership with China with your businesses, with your provinces, with your universities.

(2,577 posts)Being more presidential than the vulgar talking yam is a pretty low bar. That being said, Jerry Brown has shown real leadership in many areas for the people of California.
