What are the metrics by which CalSTEP will measure success?
For now CalSTEP has adopted the goals approved by both the California Energy Commission and the California Air Resources Board. After two years of comprehensive analysis, these two agencies determined that it was economically and technically feasible for the state to reduce gasoline and diesel consumption in 2020 by 15 percent below 2003 levels. They also set a target of 20 percent of the fuel coming from alternative sources. To achieve these goals the state must start taking action now.
