California passes landmark energy bill with commission power
The Senate approved AB1575 by 21 to 14 sending the measure to the Assembly for technical review. The plan would create a five member energy commission, push efficiency standards, and develop energy emergency plans while aiming to save the equivalent of 16 million barrels of oil daily by 1980. Critics warn of excessive power and potential homeowner costs.
