The businessas-usual scenario represents a pathway guided by outcomes and expectations emerging from California's energy crisis. alternative scenarios represent contexts where clean energy plays a greater role in California's energy system: Split Public is driven by local and individual activities; Golden State gives importance to integrated state planning; Patriotic Energy represents a national activities are identified as promising opportunities for achieving alternative energy pathways in California. that brings together individual and community activities with state and national policies leads to the largest energy savings, increases decades identified by the scenario analysis include dominance of the transportation sector, dependence on fossil fuels, emissions of energy diversity, and greenhouse gas emissions associated with each scenario through 2035. The focal issue reflects an important set of uncertainties in California's future energy pathway. Scenario branch points in California's future energy pathway. ./cache/work_njltryvad5ctpna3lrylm7pd4m.pdf ./txt/work_njltryvad5ctpna3lrylm7pd4m.txt
