[单项选择]Earlier this summer Arnold Schwarzenegger, California’s governor, said that the state’s penal system was "falling apart in front of our very eyes". Indeed so. Some 172,000 inmates are crowded into institutions—from the state’s 33 prisons to its 12 "community correctional facilities"—that are meant to house fewer than 90,000.

This was fighting talk, but if any advanced 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 Rosenfeld. More than three decades ago, Rosenfeld helped to trigger the state’’s successful fight to cut energy consumption; today he is one of the five members of California’’s Energy Commission.
