With this month marking the one hundredth anniversary of California adopting its initiative process, a Field Poll released Thursday hints that voters feel more disconnected from the state ballot initiative process than in the past- as well as from their elected representatives.
California is so geographically huge with such a large population, that problems which are sometimes more evident elsewhere are also problems here too, even if they may not get as much attention. One such problem is methamphetamine usage.
First Solar, based in Tempe AZ, is the world's biggest manufacturer of thin-film photovoltaic solar panels. They use cadmium telluride rather than silicon in creating the panels.
