		<description><![CDATA[Well before the conglomerate Koch Industries plunged $1 million into Prop 23 — a ballot initiative in California to essentially repeal the state’s revolutionary clean energy climate change law AB 32 — the Wonk Room revealed  that front groups controlled by Koch had been working to promote Prop 23. Americans for Prosperity, the front group founded and financed by Koch Industries’ executive David Koch, had organized Tea Party rallies in favor of Prop 23 and produced online ads distorting California clean energy. <a href="http://www.sustainabilitycoalition.org/_excerpt/van-jones-slams-koch-industries-role-in-prop-23">Read more</a>]]></description>

Come election day, California voters are in danger of undoing "one of the most progressive pieces of environmental legislation ever enacted," thanks to a ballot measure pushed by handful of big out-of-state oil companies to kill California's landmark global warming law. <a href="http://www.sustainabilitycoalition.org/power-vote/californias-climate-battle-heats-up">Read more</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Proposition 23, the initiative that would suspend California's greenhouse gas laws, is not about saving jobs. It is about greed, said California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Speaking at a Commonwealth Club event in Santa Clara, the governor lashed out at the companies--particularly Valero, Koch Industries and Tesoro--trying to effectively get rid of the state's carbon regulation law, known by its bill name AB 32. Technically, Prop 23 would suspend AB 23 until employment falls below 5.5 percent, something that has occured only sporadically in the last few decades. <a href="http://www.sustainabilitycoalition.org/_excerpt/arnold-lashes-out-at-valero-prop-23">Read more</a>]]></description>
