  1. California, USA

    Here is an executive summary of things.  The full policy is huge and multi-faceteed.  Go to the link for more.

    Executive Summary

    California's vibrant economy is dependent on reliable and affordable supplies of energy. Yet, fossil-based energy produces greenhouse gases that are the primary contributors to climate change. California's challenge, like that of the rest of the developed world, is how to maintain its growth and vitality while decreasing its contributions to global greenhouse gas emissions.

    Responding to this challenge, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and the California Legislature placed reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the center of their agendas. Assembly Bill 32 (Núñez, Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006), the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), mandates that California reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

    In 2004, the state produced almost 500 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). Reducing California's greenhouse gas footprint to meet AB 32 goals will require approximately a 29 percent[1] cut in emissions below the levels the state is currently projected to produce in 2020.

    As the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the United States and about twelfth largest in the world, California's efforts to reduce its emissions will lead the way for other governments, as well easing the severity of environmental and economic impacts experienced this century.


  2. Florida has alternative fuel vehicles but no alternative fuel stations. we still run on gas and diesel

  3. State of Texas advocates use of propane and natural gas in state vehicles.  

    Wind generation has taken off and there are plans for nukes.

    Coal is used extensively but scrubbers on the stacks however there is trading of permitted emissions that deters from the goals of reducing emissions.
