With alternative renewable sources of energy becoming a national issue in this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presidential race, Proposition 7 requires that utility companies in California obtain half of their power from solar, wind and other resources by 2025. The Solar and Clean Energy Act, sounds like a pretty good idea for those who care about the environment. In addition to renewable energy requirements, the initiative would include public utilities into the standards and impose penalties on non-compliance. Why then are so many of California\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s leading environmental organizations opposing Proposition 7? Groups like the League of Conservation Voters, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and the Natural Resources Defense Council are urging a no vote on the Soalr and Clean Energy Act. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, the initiative means well, but contains major flaws they say could actually impede the state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s progress towards renewable energy. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Ralph Cavanagh, co-director of NRDC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s energy program<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.noprop7.com\">No on Prop 7<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yeson7.net\">Yes on Prop 7<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program This November, Californians will consider a ballot initiative that could reshape the state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s energy future.
