Hi David,
The fact is that California during many years have a very active program for saving of energy. This is the reason, because if you look at other states in US, with similar climate conditions, they are at average or above average. Of course, a lot is AC in those states, very much offices. If you look at statistics over the years and growth, you can clearly see that it is man made savings. California is the state that is and has been the most active state in US, when it comes to energy conservation and pollution. We had many exchange students and visiting professors from California in the Swedish universities. Still the Californian use twice as much energy as the average Swede. But they are best in the US after Hawaii, which is definitely determined by the climate.
