solarbirdOkay, remember Initiative 937, the renewable-energy initiative for which I gathered signatures? This is the first year it can be revised by the legislature, and it's being kinda gutted.
The bill is SB-5840, and it cuts back targets by about 75% - from what I've been reading, it cuts long-term targets below levels already reached today. It's already passed the Senate; it's now under consideration in the House.
I've already contacted my representative to say "no, don't do this, I collected signatures for this and voted yes on purpose" and talked about why. I hope you'll do the same.
