Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called for a federal low-carbon fuel standard aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on foreign oil. Last month, the governor issued an executive order calling for the California Energy Commission and California Air Resources Board to develop standards that will reduce the carbon content of transportation fuels by 10 percent by 2020 and reduce petroleum use by 20 percent (Circuit, Jan. 12, 2007). "A healthy environment, a growing economy, and strong national security are all reasons why we need a low-carbon fuel standard for America," said Schwarzenegger at a February 21 press conference at the Long Beach Port's Maersk terminal. To make a point of his demand, Schwarzenegger, with Senator John McCain (R-AZ), toured the site of a 500 MW hydrogen power plant jointly proposed by BP and Edison Mission Energy that would sequester carbon dioxide emissions in old underground oil wells (Circuit, Aug. 25, 2006). However, a draft report by TIAX shows that many alternatives to petroleum-based fuels involve tradeoffs that can undercut other environmental goals, such as clean air.
