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.
Fswxscream 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!

Prop 7!, The Solar and Clean Energy Act of 2008,
I am Voting No!
You may have seen TV ads in opposition and support of Prop 7, Solar and Clean Energy Act of 2008, But I went of my own fact finding trip and came back with the decision that I would vote NO. Why, very simple, because it is unclear what they wanted to and intend to do with prop 7. One thing is it is too big and after spending enough time at voter guide at California General Election site. You don't need huge 70 page proposition making it too and harder to understand. Unless that was what proponents intended.
The pro Prop 7 did not convince me.
One of the best description I read on the Preop 7 at San Francisco Chronicle, the article has a lot to say but one paragraph rang a bell for me;
"If you're going to legislate at the ballot box, keep it simple, don't write 70 pages," he added. "Our objection isn't to their good intentions, but to their bad initiative." said Ralph Cavanaugh of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Biggest question is what has an out of state billionaire got to do with California's energy. First thing jumped to my mind was Enron! These energy marketeers make messes out of simple things. The other thing is the opposition. How often do you see Republicans, Democrats, energy companies, environmentalists, renewable energy associations, Scientists and simple folks like me on one side.
So I will direct you to the sites that helped me to decide.
California Voter Guide.
San Francisco Chronicle article.
Renewable Energy world, opinion (PDF)
Should two Arizona billionaires tell California, arguably the nation’s greenest state, how to run its electricity business? Los Angeles Times Article.
Why you should vote no on Prop 7
