Added Security® is the only mechanical breakdown coverage backed by Subaru of America, Inc. Because almost every Subaru includes highly advanced, complex systems such as EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, it’s important to consider our Gold Plus plan because it covers all of the intricate components that can be very expensive to replace.

Unlike third-party plans, Added Security also covers wear and tear of covered components, consequential damage to other components, struts, constant- velocity joints and many more parts.

  • Clean Energy Manufacturing in California
    Clean Energy Manufacturing in California Report Prepared for Apollo Alliance BlueGreen Alliance Clean Energy Manufacturing Project San Francisco, CA Joel S. Yudken, Ph.D. Principal, High Road Strategies, LLC 104 N. Columbus Street, Arlington, VA 22203 (703) 528-7896 (o) • (703) 980-8122 (c) [email protected] • www.highroadstrategies.com July 17, 2011 1. Introduction The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of clean energy manufacturing in the state of California. California enjoys a unique place in the nation, if not the world, as a pioneer in the development and adoption of renewable energy technologies. It has a long history going back to the 1970s, at least, with both state and federal programs that have directly encouraged and fostered growth in clean energy systems—in areas such as solar, wind, advanced batteries and biofuels, in particular. This history has made California the premier state in the nation, and global leader, in clean energy production and manufacturing. This report reviews the current state of clean energy manufacturing in California in particular, viewing it in the context of its huge manufacturing base—the largest in the nation—and its well-developed clean energy economy value chain. Primarily, however, the discussion centers an examination of the the principal federal and state policies and initiatives that have played—and continue to play—a critical role in spawning, developing, and sustaining the state’s considerable clean energy manufacturing sector. At the end, it touches on the challenges and barriers that need to be addressed to maintain and extend this sector, in the face of the worst economic recession—and highest unemployment—the state has faced in many decades, not to mention its severe budget crisis.
