The fight over California’s Proposition 23, which seeks to roll back the state’s landmark legislation to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, is taking to the airwavesthis week, with ads emerging from both camps. The Sacramento Bee reportsthat the campaign for Prop 23 is airing a 30 second spot in Sacramento, the Central Valley, and San Diego — traditionally California’s more conservative regions — that claims the cost of the emissions regulations it seeks to gut is too high for Californians to handle:
“„“I want to do my part on global warming, all Yes on 23 says is, let’s wait until people are back to work and we can afford it” a woman says at the end of the ad.
Meanwhile, opponents of the initiative have released their own ad which focuses on the Texas oil companies that have provided major funding for Prop 23:
“„“California is outlining a clean energy future a growing workforce of bright Californians who harness wind and solar power to move our state forward. But two Texas oil companies have a deceptive scheme to take us backwards,” the narrator says, referring to Valero and Tesoro, which have both contributed heavily to the measure.
