California Unveils Environmental Action Plan

A vast, in depth plan of action for reducing emissions and promoting energy efficiency has been unveiled in California.

The ambitious proposal calls for cutting CO2 emissions by 10% by the year 2020. Other steps include promoting walkable cities, high speed rails and would require more hydrogen and hybrid delivery vehicles.

Planners and environmental groups have claimed the program could be a blueprint to other states and developing nations such as China.

Governor Schwarzenegger supports the plan and it could take effect as soon as 2012.
