'I intend to show the world that economic growth and the environment can coexist,' he told constituents in his January 2004 'state of the state' address. This may sound strange coming from a former Hollywood action hero who has owned at least seven Hummers, gargantuan vehicles that get only 10 to 12 miles per gallon. But Schwarzenegger is coming through on his promise. Six months after taking office, he signed an executive order to develop the new California Hydrogen Highway Network by 2010. The goal is to speed the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles that run on hydrogen, one of the cleanest energy carriers in existence." (WORLD WATCH) This article discusses California's attempt to shift its "transportation system, including its 10,000 retail gasoline outlets, away from petroleum and toward alternative fuels."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
