Both houses of the California legislature have passed a bill called SB-32 which would tell the California Air Resources Board "to ensure that statewide greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to 40% below the 1990 level by 2030." The state's Democratic governor has issued a statement indicating that he intends to sign it into law.
The Western States Petroleum Association and the California Manufacturers & Technology Association expressed their opposition to the bill.

You make a good point. However, the bill doesn't specify that, or the other measures quoted by the original poster, specifically. The Mercury-News says those are "among the possibilities, experts say." If made law, SB-32 would leave it up to the California Air Resources Board to decide exactly how to achieve the desired reduction in emissions.
