CO2 isn't a really big atmospheric warming contributor. Water vapor, humidity, clouds, are by far the largest contributor to heat retention.

It's scare propaganda to steal money from the taxpayer...borrowed money.

And yes, CO2 can be "scrubbed" from the exhaust lowering CO2 output significantly. NG is the cheapest most efficient, reliable source for electricity generation.

This amendment turns your "built into your house", part of the real estate value...into "personal property" like a car or boat. They'll be able to tax you as much as they want based on the "value" of your "personal" solar power array. It's a scam to get more tax dollars.

Vote for something that will actually help people, medical marijuana. It's a plant that God put here. It helps a lot of people.

You truly need to read the summary yourself. Carefully. Among other things, any excess electricity you generate may be waste, not "sold back" to the utility. Besides, you could PASS A LAW. Does this need to be in the STATE CONSTITUTION? The CONSTITUTION??? Absolutely not.

I voted NO!

[buckscounty]

I checked into it and voted no today.

If you think the oil, gas, and coal industries have your best interest at heart, vote yes on 1.
If you think drug companies and Sheldon Adelson have your best interest at heart, vote no on 2.
If you think about it, vote the opposite on both.

The real bad one was snuck through in Aug...that one changes how your solar equipment gets taxed. Removed from real estate tax and added to personal property tax...like a boat or car.

[outlaw]

I voted yes because it prevents the electric company from forcing me to subsidize the costs of the solar panel users. I voted no on medical marijuana because it is just a loophole for dopers.
