      painless....they should support a host of policies to ensure the
      success of renewable portfolio standards (RPS's), or mandates that
      a certain percentage of electricity come from clean sources. New
      York and California have both set targets of 50 percent renewables
      by 2030, but a pledge doesn't do much on its own if there are no
      teeth to it. States are only successful if their strong mandate is
      accompanied by a mix of strong policies like credits that boost
      solar, wind, and energy-efficiency investment. And they need to
      ensure that businesses know they're serious about these mandates,
      by ratcheting them up and not backtracking on standards. A strong
      RPS mandate is just a piece of the puzzle.  <b> ** See also <a

      including the abundant nutrients washed in from surrounding
      agricultural lands, heavy winter rains and hot, calm summer
      weather. In the future, such blooms could become more common as
      Earth's rising temperature heats up lakes and oceans, providing a
      more favorable home for algae and other potentially toxic
      microorganisms in the water....According to the most recent report
      of the Intergovernmental Panel on<span
        class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight:

      warm by 1.8° to 5.4°F (1° to 3°C) by the end of the century
      depending on emissions levels...While lowering greenhouse gas
      emissions to curtail warming would help the problem, an easier
      strategy might be to attack the problem from the nutrient side,
      Havens said. Research he has conducted suggests that the
      temperature response of algae was much stronger when nutrient
      levels were high than when they were low...But controlling
      nutrient runoff into Lake Okeechobee has been a thorny political
      issue. And even if all runoff from current agriculture was
      stopped, years of farming have left enough phosphorous that it
      would take 50 years to wash it all out of the surrounding
      sediment, Havens said.</div>
