The correct answer is Because accessing oil and gas is a state interest

Basically, the state legislature is the only one who can say what can and can't be done when it comes to such industry and if they decide that it's dangerous for the environment then they will support the initiative's ideas even though they oppose the legislative powers of the initiative's creators so they might just support them but out of their own decision.
