to implement policies that will create a better environment for everyone, and
it is a testament to California's leadership that members of his energy and
environmental team are from this state. We have been a strong leader in
pursuing policies that protect the environment and health of Californians while
also promoting the growth of green technology and I am proud of the work we

state and the rest of the country."
