The report recommends that the federal government help build energy-efficient buildings and vehicles, expand Clean Renewable Energy Bonds, expand home weatherization programs and install solar panels on the rooftops of schools and government buildings.
The group also called for new public transportation projects, infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians and more anti-idling truck programs.
If all these recommendations were carried out, America's global warming producing pollution would be reduced by 10 percent and the equivalent of 170 coal-fired power plants would be replaced, the report noted.
"America is at a crossroads on energy. If we continue with business as usual -- dirty energy and highways to nowhere -- we will be laying the groundwork for decades of increased global warming pollution," Jeremy Mills with Environment California told a press conference here.
