What people really think of spending on alternative energy

In the same election that voted for Obama by double digits, California voters voted down two ballot questions:
Proposition 7 would have required utilities to generate 40 percent of
their power from renewable energy by 2020 and 50 percent by 2025.
Yes 3,294,158 35.1%
No 6,102,907 64.9%
Proposition 10 would have created $5 billion in general obligation bonds to help
consumers and others purchase certain high fuel economy or alternative fuel vehicles,
and to fund research into alternative fuel technology.
