California Climate Push to Raise Energy Costs 30%
While there are no hard estimates, an early analysis presented to state energy policymakers last Tuesday indicates the costs to California’s retail energy utility customers will increase up to 30% to pay for stepped up renewable and energy efficiency programs enabling the state to meet its highly touted goal of reducing its overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels by 2010.
California Climate Concerns to Drive Energy Costs 30% Higher
While there are no hard estimates, an early analysis presented to state energy policymakers Tuesday indicates the costs to California’s retail energy utility customers will increase up to 30% to pay for stepped up renewable and energy efficiency programs enabling the state to meet its now highly touted goal of reducing its overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels by 2010.
AGA Supports ‘Reasonable, Responsible’ Federal Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Swinging its support behind the federal action to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the American Gas Association (AGA) said last week that policymakers must provide energy utilities with the opportunity to make greater use of domestic resources to “make meaningful advances in addressing climate change.”
