22. It's a small step, but a very significant one.

California is trapped by it's own backwardness and ignorance with sustainable planning, we're addicted to oil and use more energy for transportation than for all other uses combined.

The US as a whole uses far more energy for electricity production than for transport, but not California.

It's time we move forward.

I thank Darrell Steinberg for his leadership in the Senate, and especially with projects related to energy and to education.
