YES - NO Prop 7

YES - NO Prop 7. My post about Prop Seven brought a few commenters whom I noticed today. It seems that they are all Yes on Prop 7 people. First of all thank you for reading the badly written article. I know I can't write for toffees but that will not stop me from writing!
I am still on "NO on 7" side unless some one comes forth and convince me of otherwise.
First of all I learned that California Law requires to attach the original law in an amendment through the comments. One learns everyday. There were four comments and four people. I will introduce them below!;

Pointed out (nicely) where I may have erred and yes I did have a question about PG&E and Edison being there. Trust me I am not a fan of PG&E nor Edison. But still they are Californian companies. But I did read a bunch regarding their association and some questions got cleared. I also read a buch of yes on 7 sites but none told me what the interest of billionaires from out of state got to do with California Energy. So I am following my mothers advise, when in doubt say NO! Anyway I will look further but you did not help me to change my mind. But I thank you.

Red E Fine (re.de.fine),
Actually you gave me a bunch of really good information. I visited them all and will read more after I finish this. I am very happy that people like Red are there to oppose nicely. Who knows if the facts are right. Thank you so much for the visit and your effort.
He/She gave me some information that I should share;
1) Alternative media article to the SF chronicle:


2)NRDC representative blog post AND factual point by point response:

3) www.yeson7.net

4) non biased and non partisan informational website for ballot initiatives and the likes: http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_7_%282008%29
Thanks Re.de.fine. (links will be clickable once I am convinced! )

Alec,
Thanks Alec you too were a very nice and as I said I did not know about the law requiring Original Law text needing to be there with ammendments! Thank you for visiting.

even asked me not to give up my day job thinking I not smart :`( . But smarts are not on your side buddy. (It is cheaper to register domains here in USA, than Germany, I usually pay less than half of what you or your associates paid to register solarandcleanenergy.org (which gets forwarded to yeson7.net which is actually registered at Godaddy from Arizona, whom I also use for domain needs.). So a side that pays Minimum of $13.50(with maximum discounts) for a domain that could be had for $1.99 in 2007 October tells me I am not smart! Go figure!! Other than that you did not tell much about the cause. I have been to yeson7.net before. Thanks you for making me smile!

You are going about it the right way, learn both sides before you make a decision. And I too take advice from my mom, but I also know she is not always right. Because when in doubt, question until you are validated. And you also seem to be very close to California and are holding it in a special place, I feel the same way and that's why I'm voting YES on 7, is important. Please take a few things into consideration for California. Our energy comes from in state coal companies and out of state. These companies are contracting with PG&E and are contributing to global warming pollution by 40% and which is also harmful for the communities living in the areas surrounding. With a yes vote on prop 7, we can help stop this pollution to the earth and its inhabitants. Remember the fires not even a year ago and we had to walk around with masks on our faces and stay indoors to keep from inhaling smoke? Burning coal has that same effect. Imagine that being our lives, beautiful California will be a smoke cloud in less than 10 years if we don't do something now. And we are paying for OUT OF STATE coal burning and paying extra for it being out of state. Prop 7 ensures to protect the consumer from our bills being raised. PG&E has already been granted the budget for something like this. Here is some info on Peter Sperling, he's an environmental philanthropist and cares about preserving California's beauty-(out of state millionaire)http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Peter_Sperling. Also please take a look at these blogs. They have very viable information and are worth taking a look at before you completely decide to vote no. If the utility companies want us to go green, then they should too right?
