Over 76% of voters cast a "no" ballot. "It's a strong sign to Switzerland as a center of employment," Economy Minister Johann Schneider-Ammann said. "Accepting the initiative would have led to job cuts in economically weak, rural areas."

Anyone still with SUNE? A SunEdison bankruptcy could drag in its two publicly traded holding company units, TerraForm Power (NASDAQ: TERP) and TerraForm Global (NASDAQ: GLBL), and will likely be "messy" due to their IPOs and the company's financing web of loans and credit lines. A bankruptcy also has the potential to trigger defaults on multiple wind and solar farms that are generating revenue from selling electricity. SunEdison (NYSE: SUNE) had total debt of $11.7B as of September 30, according to the last comprehensive figure reported.
