The case of California.
HE FINITE NATURE OF FOSSIL FUELS, THE
effects of climate change, and concerns
about air-quality issues are each stimulating initiatives in many sectors of the economy to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide
pouring into the atmosphere. Much attention is focusing
on the transportation sector, an especially large contributor
of greenhouse gas emissions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, approximately 23% of

T

total energy-related carbon dioxide emissions come from
vehicles. The widespread push for alternatives to gasolinepowered vehicles has led to cumulative sales of more than
4 million electric vehicles (EVs) worldwide. In California,
cumulative sales of EVs passed 500,000 in November 2018.
The shift to EVs in California is taking place at the same
time that use of renewable energy sources is emerging.
Renewables now represent 34% of retail electricity sales in
the state, which has set an ambitious target of 100%
