...another reason to vote NO on all those....I read other venture capitalist...I think Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers Inc, etc are throwing money into all this.....hell, they are venture capitalist...let them get their own money without asking the oil companies to invest in THEIR profits.....greedy bastards....aligned with the enviro-weenies....pathetic

Khosla is a partner in Kleiner Perkins. He and his cohorts (John Doerr, Brooks Byers, Reed Hastings, et al) are robbing the taxpayers blind with all their feel-good initiatives. So much for venture capitalim being a risky business--they seem to have found a "sure thing" in California. Hopefully, all the voters will see through it and vote no. They'll probably just find a front man for their next "ventures."

Speaking of "greedy bastards", though I'm voting no on 87, the oil companies have profited handsomely from the environmental movement...Oil companies profiting from and not fighting the environmental movement may come back to bite them on the ass.

Why would companies earning record profits want to increase the supply with more drilling and or more refineries, lowering the price?

BTW, I was just polled tonight on 87.
