We have only 15% renewable energy in California now. And as a result of climate change there WILL be a shortage in the future of hydroelectricity, that California now depends on. I remember some years ago, the CEO of PG&E testifying before congress that this is a huge concern going ahead, because hydropower is depleted by droughts, and with warmer winters snow melt is faster, in winter, leaving none for later in the year, as we have had, a to some extent still have now. But California has seen only the first 3 degrees of climate change over the last 30 years. By the end of the century it will be ten degrees: unthinkable change- if we don’t slow the current trajectory.

Electricity is not produced from foreign oil and there isn’t a shortage of electricity. The US Energy Information Agency reports electrical demand declined 3.6% last year. Furthermore, what jobs? Any PERMANENT (non construction)RE jobs will be offset by closure of conventional power plants because we don’t need the electricity. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 industry, increase air pollution, especially in communities around their refineries and there will not be lower gas prices. Koch Industries, Valero and Tesoro are super Enrons. Since when did the oil companies start to show any concern for the unemployed and their families and for small businesses?
