Fueling California commissioned the Orange County Business Council (OCBC) to analyze the policy decisions that impact fuel resources in California through examining research on policies, taxes and government requirements regarding current and alternative fuels in California. These results provide policymakers, media and community members with information about the economic impact of California’s policy regime regarding traditional and alternative fuels. This analysis determines “what makes California different” than other states on how it approaches policymaking on fuel resources for our modern economy. OCBC’s research team is headed up by Dr. Wallace Walrod and researchers from top California universities, including Dr. Randall Crane from University of California, Los Angeles; Dr. Roger Morton from Cal State Long Beach; and Dr. Marlon Boarnet from University of California, Irvine.
