Prices for Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) are about 80% higher, and prices in the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) territory are roughly double the national average. The En Banc centers around themes and concepts raised by a CPUC-authored white paper on California electric and gas cost and rate trends over the next decade.

BIO says EPA inaction on RFS rule causing an increase in GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 23, 2014

Increased greenhouse gas emissions equal to 4.4 million additional cars on US roads are likely as a result of EPA inaction on finalizing the 2014 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) rules, according to a new white paper issued by The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO).
