combined annual energy expenditure of over one hundred billion
dollars ($100,000,000,000), and a complementary commitment to clean
energy, the State of California and the United States Department of
Defense can accelerate the growth of the American clean energy
economy, stimulate job creation, and mitigate the threats of climate
change and oil dependence.
