The environment and economic environment of California are inextricably intertwined. How can California lead the way in the rejection of the federal regulations concerning the banks getting their way on the so-called "cramdown" issue? Is it possible to create an incentive for banks doing business in California to rewrite mortgages for homes needing a retrofit to further reduce energy usage and an eye toward greener building methods and materials? How do we help banks do the right thing by their customers and at the same time create more jobs? Once again, California needs to set an example for the country and the world.
