Bernie Sanders’ $100 billion take-over of PG&E will make California’s electricity problem worse

Tom Dalzell, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1245: Sen. Bernie Sanders released a proposal, originally advanced by the Democratic Socialists of America, to convert PG&E from an investor owned utility to a ward of that state.

Dr. Shalini Shah and Dr. Edward Mariano: Acetaminophen should not be given a Proposition 65 warning. Such a listing would confuse consumers. Acetaminophen has been studied extensively in human and animal research, and there is no clear evidence that acetaminophen should be considered a carcinogen.

California’s declining school enrollment doesn’t justify $15 billion Proposition 13 school bond

Mark Fulmer and Jerrold Jensen: With current staffing levels, California’s projected enrollment loss will eliminate the need for about 1,000 teachers and 1,000 classrooms and hundreds of non-classroom employees. So why are Californians being asked to approve a $15 billion school construction bond?

California must use the sun to reduce greenhouse gas emissions—and recognize there’s more than one way to do that

Michael Wyatt, K Hovnanian Homes: The California Energy Commission rightfully saw fit to allow alternatives to rooftop solar. For some consumers, solar panels on their newly constructed home is the right choice. For others, on-site or off-site solar energy is the best to fit their needs. That’s why the Feb. 20 vote by the energy commission is so important.
