Correction:

It is important to support and encourage people are leading the
effort so switch to alternate fuel vehicles and green vehicles. 

Here are suggestions:

Give a vehicle tax break to everyone who has a vehicle that gets
more than 40 MPG.   I suggest giving them $150 dollar off their
vehicle registration fee each year too. 

Subsidize biodiesel.  There are producers but the expenses of
producing biodiesel is a problem.  We need encourage more
producers.   

Also, give tax breaks to people who are creating biodiesel at
home.   One way is charge no sales tax on equipment for making
biodiesel, both commercially and at home.

Don't charge road tax for biodiesel for 10 years to get more
vehicles using this stuff.

Support waste vegetable oil diesel automobile conversions.  These
vehicles are much cleaner than gas and diesel vehicles, and
comparable to biodiesel vehicles in the pollutants produced.  

Also, most rendering companies sell the waste vegetable oil to
companies that use it to make cattle feed, and this is not healthy
food for cattle.  Making biodiesel and using waste vegetable oil as
a motor fuel is a much better use.

If I had my way, it would be illegal to make cattle feed out of
waste vegetable oil from restaurants.

Don't charge road tax for cars that run on Wast Vegetable Oil for
10 years to get more of these conversions on the road.

Make it illegal to create local laws that declare that vegetable
oil is a hazardous material, and get these laws off the books of
cities in California that have these law.  Most of these laws are
initiated by Rendering Companies who don't want competition. 

Give a state tax break to people who convert their cars to become
Electric Vehicles.

Subsidize the cost of the batteries that go into electric vehicle
conversions.  This is the biggest cost, and subsidizing this would
get a lot more on the road.

Get biobutanol into gas stations in California.  This is an
alcohol, similar to ethanol, except that it has 4 main hydro
carbon molecules instead of two. biobutanol runs in gasoline
vehicles without modification.  It is much cleaner than gasoline
for pollution, and it is safer than gasoline.  It can be made out
of anything that ethanol can be made from.  Also biobutanol does
NOT absorb water like ethanol does so it can use the existing
infrastructure that is used for gasoline. Ethanol can't but must
be trucked to gas stations.
