CA State Policies

•California is more progressive than rest of the country▫2007

SB 1368 prevents utilities from signing long-term contracts with or investing in dirty coal plants

▫2011 AB 32 mandates 1/3 electrical power from

renewables by 2020

Where is California getting its electricity?•“In 2011, California produced 70% of the

electricity it uses; the rest was imported from the Pacific Northwest (10%) and the U.S. Southwest (20%). Natural gas is the main source for electricity generation at 45% of the total in-state electric generation system power.” Source: CA Energy Almanac

Air Quality Effects

³

Particulate Matter (PM)• 2.5 micrometers in

diameter or smaller = PM2.5

• PM2.5 24-hr Standard (2006) = 35 micrograms/cubic meter averaged over 24-hr

• Is the EPA PM2.5 24-hr Standard achieved in each county?

• Do the counties near National Parks achieve the EPA PM2.5 Standard?
