Over the decades California's green rules have inspired other states, and even the federal government, to follow. That urge to blaze trails remains strong. In 2006 Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose passion for climate policy was matched only by his love of Hummers, signed AB32, which required a cut in greenhouse-gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. He fought hard for similar federal action. His successor, Jerry Brown, recently urged a meeting of his fellow governors to follow California's lead. AB32 has several elements. The most prominent is a cap-and-trade scheme. From the beginning, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has presented its scheme as a model for others. Cap-and-trade grabs headlines, but making cars cleaner is perhaps where California's influence is strongest. In 2002 California passed a law requiring carmakers to slash vehicle emissions. The final big piece of the jigsaw is renewable energy, which under AB32 must provide one-third of California's electricity by 2020.
