Today's Register-Guard offers a comparison of Governor Kulongoski's plans to encourage renewable energy and Ron's "let the market decide" approach.

Over at the OLCV blog, they're calling Saxton out for referring to requirements to use renewable energy as a gimmick:

Who is Ron Saxton and has he not been watching what is happening in our world?

How completely short-sighted and arrogant is he to assume that we can sit back, drive our gas-guzzlers, sit in our air conditioning and expect the problems of the world to be fixed in the market place.

Wake up Ron Saxton. Our communities are at stake here!
