 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. New York state has a goal to transition

 10 1. The board shall adopt a state energy plan in accordance with the
 11 provisions of this article. Such plan shall establish a goal of achiev-
 12 ing a one hundred percent clean renewable energy system for electricity
 13 by two thousand thirty-four, with zero net greenhouse gas emissions. As
 14 used in this section, "clean renewable energy" shall include energy
 15 derived from solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal sources, but does not
 16 include nuclear power, natural gas, biomass, or fossil fuels.
 17 § 3. This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeed-
 18 ing the date upon which it shall have become a law.
