Renewable Energy Objective
In 2008, the South Dakota legislature passed a Renewable Energy Objective. The bill is mostly a symbolic gesture, as it's not a mandate, only an objective. Furthermore the objective is only 10% by 2015. Considering that hydroelectric dams already produce about 45% of the state's electricity, that objective will likely be met.

Famous quotes containing the words energy and/or objective:
“After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“I am not a great man, but sometimes I think the impersonal and objective equality of my talent and the sacrifices of it, in pieces, to preserve its essential value has some sort of epic grandeur.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
