Gasoline Jet Fuel Diesel Fuel Natural Gas
Note: These four fuels accounted for over 70% of California's total greenhouse gas emissions in 1990 and over 75% in 1999.

West Coast Governors’ Global Warming Initiative
• September 2003 announcement by Governors of Oregon, Washington and California
• Tri-state effort to address global warming through both individual and regional actions
• Direction to three Staffs to develop joint recommendations by September 2004
West Coast Governors’ Global Warming Initiative
• State Fleet Procurement Practices• Port Emissions and Truck-Free Corridors• Energy Efficiency Standards• Renewable Energy Resources• Reporting protocols and measurements• Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure
Reducing Petroleum Dependence
• Recommends a California strategy for reducing petroleum dependence
• Adopt a goal of reducing on-road petroleum demand
---to 15 percent below 2003 levels by 2020
---increase non-petroleum fuels to 20 percent by 2020
• Influence Congress to improve CAFE

Integrated Energy Policy Report
• Require Greenhouse Gas Reporting in licensing new power plants
• Account for cost of GHG emissions in utility resource procurement
• Use sustainable energy and environmental designs in state buildings
• Require state agencies to incorporate climate change in planning decisions
State Policy Objectives
• Enhance California’s Building and Appliance Efficiency Standards beyond 2007
• Accelerate the Renewable Portfolio Standard to 2010
• Encourage use of low-GHG (i.e. low-emitting and fuel-efficient) vehicles
• Reduce petroleum dependence---Double Vehicle Fuel Economy---Increase non-petroleum fuels
California Climate Change Activities
• Joint Agency Task Force on Climate Change• External Advisory Committee • Tri-state planning meetings in June, July
and September 2004• Climate Change Scientific Research• AB 1493 regulation package in May 2004• California Climate Action Registry
