The biggest vote in Steve Bradford's very young legislative career involved an industry he knows quite a bit about: electric utilities.

Bradford voted yes on SB 14 and AB 64, which would require utilities to get 33 percent of their electricity from renewable sources. During the campaign, Bradford had expressed some skepticism about such renewable requirements, based on his experience in public affairs at Southern California Edison.

In a conference call with reporters set up by the governor's office today, SCE VP Stuart Hemphill took aim at the legislation:

SB14 would require Southern California Edison to take its eye off the ball in terms of focusing on transmission and instead require us to focus on building renewable generation.  

The governor is expected to veto the bills.
