AB 118: Investing in alternative fuels & clean air

California has taken several important steps to encourage greater use of alternative fuels in order to reduce our dependence on petroleum and reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. But AB 118 (Núñez) takes a critical missing step by generating $210 million a year to support programs to support research, development and commercialization of clean alternative fuels and to reduce air pollution from vehicles. These programs will be critical to the state’s efforts to meet its AB 32 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and state and federal air quality standards.
