Proposition 7 - another fraud

Proposition 7 is a fraud. I would vote no not only because of its policies, which are idiotic, but also because of its costs.

The easiest way to understand the proposal is to listen to what the proponents of the measure say it will do. It will raise the costs of the California Energy Commission, never thought to be a very effective agency, by $3.5 million per year. It will mandate increases in the percentage of alternative fuel buys by investor owned utilities for the next several decades. It claims to help solar power, but the California Solar Energy Association is opposed to it. It will add about 3% a year to our energy bills although it seems to add more to those who live in the regions served by investor owned utilities.

The arguments are on the Secretary of State's Site.

This is one the easiest ones on the ballot - Vote NO
