A Vote for Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is on the ballot this election. In several states voters will be able to cast a vote for renewable energy. According to USA Today:

Three states — California, Colorado and Missouri — have measures on their ballots that deal with alternative energy sources, including wind and solar power. “This is a fairly new issue to the ballot,” says Jennie Drage Bowser, who has been tracking ballot measures for more than a decade at the National Conference of State Legislatures. “It’s a direct response to the demand for energy independence and the rising cost of energy.”

If these measurers pass it will be a sign the public is in support of moving this nation toward renewable energy. If they do not big oil will be quick to say the renewable era is over. Instead of just red and blue states we have green states to watch on election night.
