Sacramento Bee: In his State of the City address today, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson will propose creating a regional clean-tech authority to pump $100 million into school retrofits and recommend building a series of biofuel plants that would manufacture fuel from waste.
He'll also outline how to double the number of green technology jobs in the region and urge that 20 percent of the area's food be purchased from local farms and ranches.
His Greenwise Initiative teams have met monthly over the past year, and a 100-page action plan that will be released by the mayor today is the result of that work.
In addition to his clean-tech goals, the mayor will also discuss proposals dealing with education and the economy.
