Okay. If you want me to support this bill I need to know how water, nuclear, coal, gas, solar, and wind utilities can increase there outputs by 1% /year. In other words, the premise although wonderful, seems absurd because their business models are based on efficiency. If you are suggesting switching resources like coal for say, solar or wind, then I would need to see not only the reduction in total carbon footprint (cradle to grave) but also the decrease in cost and the environmental impact studies. Because wind power makes people near by sick and takes up too much acreage, and solar is sucking up huge parts of the Mojave Desert while using up precious water. And if you don't permit nuclear power, because it is IMO the cheapest and has the least impact on the environment, then you are just treating me like some naive green energy follower. Give me good reason and I will gladly sign. Diane, An engineer. Hi,
