Energy measures shape California energy policy debate
In Sacramento a sweep of energy items drew attention. The Assembly passed a bill limiting speeds to 85 mph while a Senate panel stalled a companion measure. A proposed energy czar would oversee car pooling, gas valuation and fuel allocation. The Energy Planning Council urged a study on banning pool heaters and easing certain anti pollution rules. A plan to reserve freeway lanes for buses and car pools advanced to the Assembly. Finance Chair Randolph Collier warned gas tax hikes may be needed to fund highway construction amid shifts in demand from the energy crisis. A tide and oil royalties bill sought state fuel self sufficiency during the crisis.
