Proposition 23

[BigGovernmentIsGood]

Valero and Tesoro (dirty oil energy companies), the two biggest backers of proposition 23, only have 4,000 employees in California.

Compare that paltry number of dinosaur jobs to the clean-energy industry in California:

The number of clean energy businesses and clean energy jobs has increased in California 45% and 36%, respectively, in the period between 1995-2008. [17] This rate of growth is 10 times more than the state’s average job growth rate.[18]

California has over 12,000 clean energy businesses [19] and 500,000 people are employed in clean energy occupations.[20] With over $9 billion in venture capital funds, California’s clean energy firms have received 60% of venture capital funds in North America [21].

The independent Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) has stated that suspending AB 32 would “dampen additional investments in clean energy technologies or so-called ‘green jobs’ by private firms, thereby resulting in less economic activity than would otherwise be the case.” [22]

Why would anyone want to risk 500,000 jobs in order to try and protect 4,000? Vote no on Prop. 23 to protect California’s 500,000 clean-energy jobs.

Hyperbole. Do you have anything substanial? UC says AB32 will cost 1,000,000 jobs.

Tell how AB32 is going to create 500,000 jobs and what they will be?

All the manufacturing is done in different states. Will it be 500,000 installers?

500,000 existing green energy jobs are at risk. Compare that to the 4,000 employees of Valero and Tesoro, two massively polluting companies who have contributed the most money to try and bamboozle the public into voting for prop 23.

There aren’t 500K “green energy jobs” in California. How many people do you know who have one? What do you think these people are doing? Filling out surveys about how green they are?

As for Valero, I need the gas they refine so I can drive to work. No one will be better off if those jobs leave the state.
