<<California’s state-imposed efficiency standards have resulted in per-capita energy consumption in California remaining almost flat for the last 30 years, while in the rest of the country it has gone up 50 percent.>>

You didn't provide a direct link to the subject matter you referenced, so I posted it. Here is the exact quote you wanted to discuss... The politicians who best understand this are America’s governors, some of whom have started to just ignore Washington, set their own energy standards and reap the benefits for their states. As Schwarzenegger told me, “We have seen in California so many companies that have been created that work just on things that have do with clean environment.” California’s state-imposed efficiency standards have resulted in per-capita energy consumption in California remaining almost flat for the last 30 years, while in the rest of the country it has gone up 50 percent. “There are a lot of industries that are exploding right now because of setting these new standards,” he said. I have no idea whether Friedman's statement is true. The claim is that it was achieved by "state-imposed efficiency standards".

See page 11... not too shabby... energy.ca.gov Energy Efficiency Accomplishments in California in the Past Starting with the establishment of the state’s appliance (Title 20) and new-building (Title 24) standards in 1976 and 1978, respectively, and concurrent investments in energy efficiency programs across the state, California has pursued strong energy efficiency programs and policies that have set it apart from the rest of the U.S. Figure 6 shows that California’s historical energy efficiency policies have enabled the state to hold per capita electricity use essentially constant, while in the United States as a whole, per capita electricity use increased by nearly 50 percent since the mid-1970s Good thing Wyoming is less populous than California statemaster.com
