Will a set of Green Power plants[2] in northern California planned in the 1970s under former California Gov. Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown's administration and shut down in 1990 because they were running in the red come back to haunt third-time gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown and California's Green Power law up for review by the voters in November? (calwatchdog.com)
Three events surrounding the Bottle Rock and South Geysers Geothermal Power Plants[3] in northern California might call into question the third candidacy of Jerry Brown for governor and the sustainability of AB32 - the Global Warming Solutions Act - on the November ballot for possible rollback by the voters as Prop 23.
