Prop 23

San francisco, CA

November 2, 2010

Proposition 23 is basically deceptive and destructive ballot measure.

- Limits AB32 (reduce carbon emission)
- Out of state oil companies wants to stop the AB32 implementation until the unemployment rate is 5.5%

Yes on prop 23
- Global warming programs is creating unemployment

No on prop 23
-oil companies wants to extend their business in CA and cause health problems

I basically think this is a dirty energy vote. SO i vote NO prop 23 because I would rather choose for the health of the majority people than the profit of one company. Moreover, green tech companies have provided lots of job opportunities, its not a job killer program.

Proposition 23

Endorsed Vote: No Endorsement

Proposition 23 is a huge controversy, it generates debate between the fight on Global Warming and the large oil and energy companies, that would benefit from the initiative. Being that the oil and energy companies will solitarily gain from the initiative if passes a no vote is necessary. I would also cause a huge strain on the environment and the clean energy jobs that employ millions of Americans. It would also put a stop on the clean energy efforts for example using wind and solar energy.
