Energy Tommorrow: Challenges and Opportunities for California (California Energy Commission 1981 Biennial Report)

摘要

The California Energy Commission presents its views on the critical energy issues for California in the next twenty years. The report includes the Commission's official electricity demand forecast and assessments of other energy demand growth. It compares demand to estimates of the potential contributions of conservation and various conventional and alternative energy supply projects. The report focuses on California's overdependence on oil and examines options for reducing petroleum use, particularly in the transportation sector. The result is a series of policy recommendations for directing public and private investments into a diversity of energy options and for spreading the benefits and costs of these options broadly and fairly among California's citizens.
