Some regional energy election results

  • Prop 23 failed overwhelmingly (61-38), which would have suspended California's 2006 Global Warming act. This act is driving for renewable energy growth in California and across the West.  
  • Initiative 7 passed in Idaho (57-43), which allows municipal electrical utilities to enter into long-term contracts for energy (profiled here on this blog).
  • Both republicans (Kavulla & Gallagher) won their races for the Montana Public Service Commission, placing that party in control.  
Any others?

  1. Hey Roscoe -- Interesting results across the board.

    Still waiting for you to post (and dissect?) my response to your "open letter," and I guess I will have to wait some more.

    In the meantime, anyone who'd like to have a pre-swearing-in talk with District #1's new commissioner can email me at kavulla [at] gmail [dot] com -- Very interested in talking with everyone, and I'll be traveling to Missoula, Helena, and Billings in the coming weeks, so location is flexible.

  2. Travis,

    I got your response up. Glad to hear you are making the rounds before taking office, and being ex parted.
