The Left hates efficient fossil fuel energy; although they don’t hesitate to use it fill their gas tanks, turn up air conditioning and take private flights.

Green campaign groups have placed three very foolish Green initiatives on the November ballot in Colorado, Arizona, and Washington State. Residents in those states had better watch out!

CFACT’s Adam Houser has details at CFACT.org:

  1. Colorado, Proposition 112 would prevent new drilling within 2,500 feet of essentially any structure – whether it is a house, fire station, garage, or whatever — on non-federal land. This would choke off virtually all fracking and oil development;
  2. Arizona, Proposition 127 would amend the Arizona State Constitution to mandate that 50% of power derived from public utilities must come from renewable resources by 2030. Nuclear power is not counted as a valid “renewable” option under the measure;
  3. Washington State Initiative 1631 would create a “fee” on carbon emissions of $15 per ton, starting in 2020, which then goes up $2 per ton every single year. Expect electricity prices to soar.
