Two California Laws Affect Locals According to Nevada Paper

Two pieces of California legislation are highlighted in a Nevada Appeal article, first carried in sister newspaper, The Siearra Sun.  The article discusses AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act and the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Performance Standard and how they are affecting the utility district in Truckee.  Readers will recall that the Truckee Donner Utility district is trying to put through a 50 year deal with a coal plant prior to January 1, when such deals will be severely curtailed.  The possibiltiy of a carbon tax has been pointed out by more than one local resident in these letters to the editor, while this one utility customer feels as if the recent meeting on the subject was "hi-jacked by the Green/Sierra Club fraternity." What that ratepayer fails to mention is the possiblity that what he considers to be cheap energy will not be so cheap in the long term as well as the effect on the environment, which he seems to care about little.

Vote Solar Supports Prop. 87

The Vote Solar Initative

The Vote Solar Initiative, "a non-profit organization with the mission of stopping global warming and increasing energy independence by bringing solar energy into the mainstream," in the face of millions of dollars of misleading ads that the oil companies are throwing in opposition, are promoting passage of Proposition 87, a proposition supported by SolarSanDiego.net.  Vote Solar is, according to communicaton sent out to activists,  will be buying airplaine banner ads for viewing by gridlocked rush hour commuters as well as other citizens in the San Francisco Bay Area. Vote Solar will be buying carbon offsets to counter their consumption of oil.  SolarSanDiego.net applauds Vote Solar's efforts to get Prop. 87 passed.
