A California that Can Work
People, Productivity, and Energy
Expert InsightsPublished 1993
Over the long term, California's economy is what largely drives its energy requirements--energy to fuel commerce, generating paychecks; and fuel to energize the lifestyles those paychecks afford people. This paper considers several demographic factors shaping California's future economic climate and resulting energy need: (1) increasing numbers of people and the households they form (2) the composition of the future labor force and (3) dependent populations (both children and adults).
