The CALIFORNIA Experiment
Brownstein, Ronald
Atlantic Monthly, October 2009, v304, #3, pp66-76
"This article discusses California's leadership on energy issues. California is responsible for three major Federal efficiency innovations, including standards of energy efficiency for household appliances, decoupling of energy use from the profit motive for electrical and gas utility companies, and automobile energy standards. The author also cites State Senator Fran Pavley as the originator of the automobile energy standards, and says the state has avoided the need for 24 power plants with its innovations."
Ronald Brownstein is the political director of Atlantic Media Company, publishers of The Atlantic Monthly, National Journal, and The Hotline, among other publications.
