California is leading the way
It seems that when Americans talk about taking real steps to find alternate sources of energy, California is leading the way. The state’s legislature has passed an aggressive bill that would require one third of the state’s energy to be from renewable sources such as Wind and solar power. The problem is that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger may not sign the bill.
Under pressure from private interest groups such as the energy producers, he feels great pressure to not sign the bill. I hope he will set an example for the rest of the country and do so anyway. Either way, I am proud of the state’s legislature for sending him a powerful message.
