Schwarzenegger's California Solar Incentive Program, encouraging homeowners to install solar panels for renewable energy. Reported in FR here, the original project was proposed by the governor but died in the state legislature over labor issues. According to AP:

The PUC voted 3-1 to provide $2.9 billion in rebates for solar panels between 2007 and 2016. Last month, the five-member commission approved $300 million in rebates for 2006.
