Abstract
In this report, we seek to accomplish several goals. The first, is to determine the feasibility of establishing a thriving cleantech cluster economy within the Southern California region. The second, is to determine what opportunities and challenges exist in pursuit of this effort. And the third, is to generate a set of policy recommendations to aid this goal. We determine that this endeavor is feasible; that California has many favorable factors to achieve this goal; but significant hurdles need to be addressed first. We also identify the specific policy actions that relevant stakeholders can take to assist in this effort.
