The fight over California’s Proposition 23, which seeks to roll back the state’s landmark legislation to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, is taking to the airwaves this week, with ads emerging from both camps. The Sacramento Bee reports that the campaign for Prop 23 is airing a 30 second spot in Sacramento, the Central Valley, and San Diego — traditionally California’s more conservative regions — that claims the cost of the emissions regulations it seeks to gut is too high for Californians to handle:
“I want to do my part on global warming, all Yes on 23 says is, let’s wait until people are back to work and we can afford it” a woman says at the end of the ad.
Meanwhile, opponents of the initiative have released their own ad which focuses on the Texas oil companies that have provided major funding for Prop 23:
“California is outlining a clean energy future a growing workforce of bright Californians who harness wind and solar power to move our state forward. But two Texas oil companies have a deceptive scheme to take us backwards,” the narrator says, referring to Valero and Tesoro, which have both contributed heavily to the measure.

The California Jobs Initiative (CJI) is an oil corporation farce and fraud. There is no connection, whatsoever, between greenhouse gas emission reduction and the loss of jobs. This notion is an insult to the intelligence of the people of California. In fact, there is job growth in the clean, renewable energy industry. Chevron employs 65,000 worldwide and CJI is not going to change this. The only jobs created by the oil industry are clean-up jobs after oil spills and deep water, blow-outs and pump-handler jobs. CJI will make fantastic profits for the oil industry, increase air pollution, especially in communities around their refineries and there will not be lower gas prices. Koch Industries, Valero and Tesoro are super Enrons. Since when did the oil companies start to show any concern for the unemployed and their families and for small businesses?

This is terrible I hope it doesn't pass. If you can't afford to be green and clean you have no business being here destroying California's environment and air vs. those that can afford it.

Prop 23 is bad for everyone. Instead of moving the country forward toward clean technology and farther away from fossil fuels, we would be rolling back the clock and using the same old excuses of “it’s not the right time” or “we just don’t have the money.” With news that China has surpassed the U.S. to now be the top producer of renewable technologies, this is not the time for our country to step backward.
