Is that setback initiative back on the ballot? Or maybe that was another state I'm thinking of.
In my show on this same topic (http://bit.ly/ActOut174), I talk about how a lot of what Växjö is capable of doing is based on the fact that they are in Sweden, one of the most environmentally progressive countries in the world. So, they have a hell of a head start when it comes to tackling these issues.
That being said, of course we can do it too - like Richmond, CA bucked Chevron for instance.
We just have a lot more oil and gas lobbying and political corruption to surmount.
