Prop 10 - Alternative Fuel and Renewable Energy

This bill, slated to be on the November 2008 ballot, aims to help consumers purchase alternative fuel vehicles and provide money for research into various forms of renewable energy like solar technology. Proponents say it is a giant step for the state to take towards energy independence. But opponents say Californians are being duped. In their opinion, this bill is a windfall for the millionaire promoting the initiative, T. Boone Pickens. Larry talks with Fred Keeley, Former Assemblyman, Treasurer of Santa Cruz County and Richard Holober, Executive Director of Consumer Federation of California, about the pros and cons of Prop 10.
