I just wanted to share some information that might have fallen through the cracks in the midst of this economy crisis. Treehugger posted an article today that there are several renewable energy propositions on the ballots for a few states. In California, Proposition 7 "requires government-owned utilities to generate 20% of their electricity from renewable energy by 2010, a standard currently applicable to private electrical corporations." Proposition 10 "authorizes $5 billion in bonds paid from state's General Fund, to help consumers and others purchase certain vehicles and to fund research in renewable energy and alternative fuel vehicles." But there are actually several environmental organizations opposed to both propositions that are seemingly beneficial to the environmental cause. For further information, please check this out. The Union of Concerned Scientists also provides interesting insight into both propositions.
