When Californians choose a successor to Governor Schwarzenegger this November, will the state stay the course on clean energy or take a new approach? Have recent energy laws brought investment capital into the state or have they increased costs for companies and consumers? Has California's central climate change law, AB 32, spurred new jobs and innovation or stifled business? And while America squabbles, is China surging ahead in the clean tech race?

Governor Schwarzenegger has passionately insisted that California can grow its economy and protect its rich environmental heritage. Tune in for a conversation with the governor about his trip to China, his own record on sustainability, and the energy choices ahead for California. - Climate One and the Commonwealth Club of California
