Who Really benefits from Prop 7 & 10

While creating renewable energy is a top priority in our counrty and in the stae of California, these 2 props go at it in a bad way. These 2 propositions stand to cost billions of tax payers dollars, put smaller companies out of business, and ultimatley raise energy rates for consumers. And both are supported by out of state billionairs.

Props. 7 & 10 aren’t good green Initiatives

TWO measures on the Nov. 4 California ballot – Propositions 7 and 10 – purport to push California in a green direction. But both are financed by wealthy men with an agenda, and neither makes the best environmental sense for California. We urge voters to reject both.

I received this email message today from wecansolveit.org. They are working to get 100,000 public comments before 20/20’s next airing, to send the message out. Repower America has a clear and simple message: massive advertising spending by the oil and coal companies, as well as lobbying is one of the main reasons our country hasn’t stepped up to making the change to clean and renewable energy sources.

Dear Nova,

Did you notice the ads after last night’s presidential debate?

ABC had Chevron. CBS had Exxon. CNN had the coal lobby. But you know what happened last week? ABC refused to run our Repower America ad — the ad that takes on this same oil and coal lobby.

I sent a letter asking ABC to reconsider their decision and put our ad on the air, but still we haven’t heard back more than a week later. I think they need to hear from all of us. Can you help? Please send a message to ABC and tell them to air the Repower America ad this Friday on 20/20. Just click here:

It will take quite a while to decipher and define all that’s included in the bill but here’s a list of titles of sections of the legislation to give you an idea of what’s included green-energy-wise in the Energy Improvement And Extension Act of 2008:
