I think Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the most number of propositions over the course of a governor's term. Prop 87 is his latest venture. You've seen the commercial. It's otherwise known as the Clean Energy Initiative, but you and I know that names can be deceiving. The proposition is about California's oil supply, which is of course, related to the ever increasing gasoline prices.
If people were to vote yes, they would be making oil companies pay--literally. There are going to be taxes imposed on oil production itself, which is approximately $200-380 million. That big chunk of change is going to go to good use, specifically towards alternative fuel research. So, Prop 87 is definitely better for Mother Nature. In turn, it will lower cases of lung cancer and other related diseases.
Who knows? Any day now, our cars could be running on water--like Jesus, only faster. Perhaps our motor vehicles will operate on helium (the type of gas in balloons), then we'll really fly just like every first grader imagined they would in the future. Aww...
What's the catch? Well, some people argue that gasoline prices are still going to be on a high, despite Prop 87, because oil companies will keep it that way. They'll import oil from foreign countries, which aren't subjected to heavy taxes, and keep charging on.
Yes or no? Simple answers to a not-so-simple question.

sorry i meant to add a picture
Hey this is Kim Pestano. i got your question about posting pictures. When you type up your post there is a little square at the top with a picture icon. I'm not exactly sure what it looks like, but when you click on it should give you the option of uploading a photo. Click browse and find the picture on your computer and upload it. If you're getting the picture from google or some other source, save it to your desktop, then upload it. I don't know if this confused you and more, but i hope it cleared things up. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
I totally agree with the "record breaking" everytime I watch tv a commercial comes on for proposition 87...86 and so on. I am being bombarded with propaganda, especially the one where they say Arnold Schwarzenegger is for Bush is he for you?
