TT Vote Poll: Vote For or Against CA Prop 7

Posted by ty97 Oct 29 '08, 11:46

California Proposition 7, would, if approved, require California utilities to procure half of their power from renewable resources by 2025. In order to make that goal, levels of production of solar, wind and other renewable energy resources will more than quadruple from their current output of 10.9%. It will also require California utilities to increase their purchase of electricity generated from renewable resources by 2% annually to meet Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requirements of 40% in 2020 and 50% in 2025. California's current law governing the amount of fuel that utility companies must purchase from renewable resources requires an RPS of 20% by 2010.[1],[2]

The text of Proposition 7 runs to 42 pages, 7 pages of which is new law. It's proposed as an initiated state statute, and it will appear on the November 4, 2008 ballot in California along with eleven other statewide ballot propositions.[3]

Voted no. It was a toss up, but the NRDC recommendation on "no" swayed me. (nm) - Boo! subi Oct 29, 11:50 2
