"For example, when children inherit a home and then rent it, some would say they are not paying their fair share of property taxes. The question the article posed was did voters truly know what they were voting for. Many believe the campaign was deceptive and not transparent. As the article pointed out, people voted for the proposition but did not fully understand its ramifications."
"Consider that with 70 years of experience, the U.S. commercial nuclear industry has built nearly 100 nuclear power plants, with almost 100 GW of capacity. In that time, in the U.S., there has been only one incident, and this release was tiny and did not hurt anybody. Solar power needs backup for when the sun doesn't shine - not just the early evening hours, but when we have cloudy weather for a week."
"Moss Landing was designed to back us up for a total of four hours. The petroleum industry loves the idea of solar backed up by natural gas, for obvious reasons. Nuclear power is the best solution right now. We've got to learn to build them as cheaply as France or China and get as many online as we can, ASAP."
Proposition 19 may cause heirs who inherit family homes to face higher property taxes, potentially forcing middle-income inheritors to move or rent. Voter understanding of the proposition's implications is questioned, with claims that campaign messaging was deceptive and not transparent. The Moss Landing battery storage fire released toxic materials and highlights limitations of short-duration storage paired with solar. Nuclear energy is presented as a proven, low-incident, low-carbon option that can provide reliable backup when solar generation is insufficient. Rapid, cost-effective nuclear deployment modeled on other countries is recommended.
