Arnold, CA Governor, Takes Oil to Task over Prop 23

This is an amazing video. Arnold, the Republican, who signed into law AB32 takes Texas based oil companies Valero and Tesoro to task over their misleading commercials supporting Proposition 23. This proposition would suspend the law until unemployment drops below %5.5 in CA for more than 4 quarters. This doesn't even happen in a healthy CA economy. So, this prop would essentially kill AB32.

They claim that the bill will kill jobs. What they don't get is that AB32 has been signed into law, and has been working for 3 years, creating 150,000 clean tech jobs and attracting clean tech industries, like Tesla to CA. There is a reason that Silicon Valley vehemently opposes Prop 23. They have gained substantially from the incentives in AB32. AB32 has helped CA becomes the center for innovative technology that benefits the environment. CA will lose its competitive edge in this market, if Prop 23 passes. VOTE NO!
