Description (excerpt):
California’s clean and efficient economy encompasses more of the state’s total economy every day. There are important “growth” sectors that are helping facilitate this transition—a diverse base of companies that provide the products and services that enable business, government, education, residential, and other “users” to cut costs through energy savings, receive more economic value per unit of energy consumed, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the same time.
With the help of these growth sectors, California’s long-standing economic drivers—from agriculture to manufacturing to health services—are transforming their own products and processes to cut costs, spur innovation, and maintain their competitiveness in a global economy. These growth sectors have a productive business relationship with the state’s economic drivers, moving everyone towards a cleaner and more efficient economy, with benefits accruing to enablers and users alike.
