Present energy policy and the energy situation in California are reviewed. It is concluded that the basic state energy policy principle should be the use of a mix of economic market forces and government programs to channel scarce capital investment funds into conservation and renewable energy sources. California and world oil supplies, transportation and energy priorities for the 1980s, electric power and future supplies, substituting natural gas to save oil, and actions to conserve energy and use renewable energy sources are discussed in detail. Future trends in the California energy system are described. (MCW)
