Associated Press BERKELEY Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger on riday released a University of California study showing the state can cut gasoline prices and stimulate the economy by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in transportation Riels In January he signed an execu tive order mandating that Califor nia refineries reduce the carbon content of passenger vehicle fuels 10 percent by 2020 The effort is critical for California to reach its target of cutting all greenhouse gas emissions over the same time by about 25 percent or the state to begin working on a plan to do so however it first needs a formula to calculate pol lution from refineries and compa nies that blend gasoline as well as measuring the progress The UC study attempts to solve the problem It creates a complex way to measure total greenhouse gas emissions created during fuel production in the state The study also concludes that an emissions credit system in which overachieving refineries can sell credits to those failing to meet the standard could stim ulate enough competition and investment in alternative fuels that California could more than achieve its 10 percent reduction goal by 2020 low carbon standard is a solution a policy to recognize that we transform our multibil lion dollar fuels market unless the private sector sees a reason to invest and customers see a reason to Schwarzenegger said In customary style he cast the challenge to reduce green house gas emissions in outsized terms is our race to the the governor said Dorotha Adkins Homemaker Dorotha Loretta Adkins 83 of tude using the 80000000
