We are in deep trouble, all right, for exactly that reason.

I have to say the world isn’t a great place if, when we report on an amendment to the State constitution, we talk about the companies that support and oppose it, and not the voters. The irony of it all: CA Governor Hiram Johnson supported the initiative process to get around the Assembly that was in the pocket of Southern Pacific RR and the other robber barons of the Gilded Age. And here we are, once again, dealing with corporations- this time, two oil companies from Texas, trying to rewrite the State Constitution, and we have to hope that we have a corporation or two to fight them off.

Yeah, I’m old enough to remember PBS back when it was actually publicly funded and wasn’t reliant on Big Oil and Big Ag for its worldview, still, most NOVA is still OK: science-based, so that out+out bunch of lies was a real shock.

exxon has killed my once objective pbs. you would think they’d want to make money with new technologies. I guess theyll be left in the dust trying to make money off a dwindling resource.

The California Jobs Initiative (CJI) is an oil corporation farce and fraud.

There is no connection, whatsoever, between greenhouse gas emission reduction and the loss of jobs. This notion is an insult to the intelligence of the people of California.

In fact, there is job growth in the clean, renewable energy industry. Chevron employs 65,000 worldwide and CJI is not going to change this. The only jobs created by the oil industry are clean-up jobs after oil spills and deep water, blow-outs and pump-handler jobs.

CJI will make fantastic profits for the oil corporations and increase air pollution, especially around their refineries, and there will not be a decrease in gasoline prices.
