(分数:30.00)_二、Part II Reading C(总题数:1,分数:71.00)Power Struggle Arnold Schwarzenegger has a mission: he wants to terminate global warming. In June, the California governor called for the
3、 state to cut down drastically its greenhouse-gas emissions to 80% of 1990 levels in the next 45 years. “The debate is over,“ he said in a forthright speech in San Francisco. “We know the science. We see the threat. And we know the time for action is now.“ This was fighting talk, but if any advanced
4、 economy can pull off such drastic cuts in emissions, this high-technology Pacific Rim state and its 36 million residents probably can. Schwarzenegger has help. He gets support from a team of state energy-conservation experts who have been in the business for years. And first among them is Arthur Ro
5、senfeld. More than three decades ago, Rosenfeld helped to trigger the states successful fight to cut energy consumption; today he is one of the five members of Californias Energy Commission. Rosenfeld spent decades as a physics professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He now commutes wee
6、kly between his home overlooking San Francisco Bay and Sacramento, the capital, in an energy-saving car that the state provides. The Energy Commissions job isnt easy: to help the most populous US state figure out how it might cut greenhouse-gas emissions and make money doing it. Under control In his
7、 office, Rosenfeld pulls out a data plot of which he is particularly fond. It shows electricity consumption per capita from 1960 to 2002, with one line for California and one for the United States. In 1960, both lines sit at 4,000 kilowatt-hours per person. They rise at roughly the same pace to abou
8、t 7,000 kilowatthours in the early 1970s. But at the point when the US energy crisis struck that decade, the lines diverge dramatically: California virtually flatlines its energy use per citizen even though its economy was outpacing the rest of the nation. The states electricity use per capita today
9、 is the lowest in the nation at 6,800 kilowatt-hours, compared with 12,800 kilowatthours for the country overall. The strategies that helped California achieve those conservation goals may now help it in its greenhouse-gas cuts. State energy experts, including Rosenfeld, dont foresee California adop
10、ting many radical new technologies to meet its ambitious goals. Rather, a steady application of proven technologies should do much of the job. Californias $1.5-trillion gross annual product makes it the worlds sixth largest economy, behind France and ahead of Italy. It is the planets ninth-largest e
11、mitter of greenhouse gases. “California is not an insignificant actor, and we are seen as a world leader in protecting the environment,“ says Eileen Tutt, a senior officer at the California Environmental Protection Agency. Still, the governors pledge, made on the United Nations World Environment Day
12、, invited more support. Schwarzenegger is a tax-cutting Republican who is deeply suspicious of government regulation. Beset by budget fights and union opposition, he has dropped in popularity with the states generally Democratic voters since his election two years ago. But his energy policies, build
13、ing on those of a string of governors of both parties, get him reputation from longtime activists. “The governor is a real-life climate action hero today,“ Nancy Ryan, a senior economist with the group Environmental Defense, told reporters. Specifically, Schwarzenegger vowed that California will cut
14、 its greenhouse-gas emissions to below 2000 levels by 2010 and to less than the 1990 level of 373 million tonnes by 2020. But then the governor added the final, ambitious goal to cut emissions by a further 80% by 2050. Out on a limb His policy stands in opposite contrast to that of the federal admin
15、istration under President George W. Bush, who has refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. The president has said that such action would squeeze the US economy too much. California officials say that they can do it while boosting the economy and creating jobs. The sta
16、tes strong environmental policies in the past, they point out, occurred while its economy thrived. Success will require the cooperation of several interlocking agencies. The Energy Commission plays a major role, as do the states Environmental Protection Agency, Air Resources Board and Public Utiliti
17、es Commission. Schwarzeneggers proclamation renewed their “absolute licence to go out and make California a model country for greenhouse policies“, says Stephen Schneider, a physicist and climate-policy analyst at Stanford University. State officials have much at stake. Californias climate could cha
18、nge utterly if a warmer world redirected storm paths. Rising temperatures could cause winter rain instead of snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains, triggering floods for which the states aqueducts(沟渠) and dams are not prepared. Plus, its coast is vulnerable to a rise in sea level. Other states have al
19、so recognized their vulnerability to climate change, and have independently taken climate policy into their own hands. Local legislators, from mayors of cities to state governors, have begun their own versions of Kyoto-like regulations. In the northeast, nine states have agreed to limit carbon dioxi
20、de emissions from more than 600 power plants in the region. On the west coast, California has joined with Oregon and Washington in a governors initiative to encourage energy efficiency and conservation. But of all the states, Californias example has caused effect: in recent years many other states h
21、ave adopted Californias standards for car pollution rather than the more lax federal standards. And the state is now attracting international attention. In September, its Public Utilities Commission, Energy Commission and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company signed a pact (合同) with Chinas Jiangsu pr
22、ovince to train officials and utility executives in energy-conservation tactics. Earlier this month, Schwarzenegger led a sales delegation to China to tout (吹捧) the states energy-saving technologies, and another team from the states Air Resources Board travelled to Belgium to brief European air-qual
23、ity experts on energy policies. Californias approach to energy conservation has helped it save money. The state sets electricity rates for private utilities, and sometimes provides subsidies to help power companies induce customers to cut their consumption. If they do, the state gives money back to
