The momentum of the sustainability movement has given birth to clean energy statutes and propositions nationwide. However, not all clean energy legislation is created equal, and with election day just around the corner, a number of scientific and environmental groups have joined together to recommend that voters in the world's 8th largest economy reject California Propositions 7 and 10.

Groups as varied as the National Resources Defense Council, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the League of Conservation Voters and the Sierra Club are standing together against the proposals. Ostensibly, the measures set up to improve incentives for the production and use of clean energy and renewable fuel use and production, the measures have been widely denounced for their weak language and exploitable contract setups.

Unlike the high-speed rail measure, which has divided the eco-friendly between sustainability enthusiasts and wilderness preservers, the unanimous voice of organizations against Propositions 7 and 10, as well as the importance of doing clean and renewable energy correctly in a market as large as California, should make them no-go's for eco-conscious voters. As the final, complete success of a recent bill curtailing the spread of aquatic invasive species through ballast water shows, a well-written measure is always worth waiting for.
