I confess, I’m a Hawaii resident, but if I could, I’d cast an out-of-state vote against California’s Prop 23, which is promulgated by out-of-state interests– namely, a couple of Texas oil refining companies and Koch Industries, a Kansas energy conglomerate. Prop 23 aims to stop implementation of California’s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) in its tracks and paralyze the green tech industry that brought $2.1 billion in investment to the state last year. The first state law of its kind, AB 32 is more important than ever since Congress failed to deliver even the most tepid of laws capping global warming emissions.
