But here's the thing: as Ballotpedia lays out almost nobody is actually in favor of the measure. They list fewer than 10 prominent individuals supporting Prop. 7, but have a lengthy list of groups opposed. Notable opponents include:
- 15 renewable energy companies (e.g., the American Wind Energy Association)
- 9 environmental groups (e.g., the California League of Conservation Voters)
- the California Democratic Party
So where's the beef, here? Does any reputable group support the Solar & Clean Energy Initiative?
Update: Opponents of Prop. 7 lay out their objections here (pdf).

I'll repeat what I've said here before, as someone who is immersed in the nuts and bolts of clean energy every day: Prop 7 reads like a teenage love note, not a plan of action.
CALSEIA (California Solar Energy Industry Association) is a serious industry organization that usually weighs in on the logistical side of these types of proposals. As I expected, they wish they had more hands so they could give this proposal four thumbs down.
