From a story by Steven Mufson of The Washington Post as it appeared in the The Seattle Times:. . .Since 1974, California has held its per-capita energy consumption essentially constant, while energy use per person for the United States overall has jumped 50 percent.

Now California is pushing further in its effort to cut automobile pollution, spur use of solar energy and cap greenhouse gases. . . .
