Don't Let Big Oil Kill Clean Energy in California

by Steven D

Proposition 23 is the referendum measure in California which would eliminate suspend the state law, the Global Warming Solutions Act (a/k/a AB 32), that calls for lowering California's greenhouse gas emissions until California's unemployment rate hits 5.5% (well that is effectively the elimination of the law).  That law was passed with Republican Arnold Schwartzenegger's active support in 2006.

Not too long ago the polls indicated that Californians rejected Proposition 23 by roughly a 60 to 40 margin.  That was back at the end of July.  Now however, since the infusion of big corporate cash and ad buys from Big Oil, such as the Koch Brothers (which I wrote about HERE), a new poll has been released are showing that the likely voters who are willing to vote for Prop 23 is now roughly equal to those opposed to its passage.
