Keep Dreamin’ Won’t happen so long as CA consists of little socialist republics like Santa Monica, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Santa Barbara
Government's role is not as an employer.
If government wants to relax environmental standards and allow the private sector to build these facilities, fine. But, government shouldn't impose utility rates that artificially enrich utility investors.
I think you'll find, even with relaxed standards, nuclear power still isn't competitive in a free market.
“...Completely eliminate the California Air Resources Board.”
Agreed, but my reasoning besides them being “Useless” as you say, is that they, as well as any of the other alleged Environmentalist agencies be they State, or Federal have no oversight whatsoever. I’ve posted this before.
These sorts have the ability to create their own issues, provide back up their agenda(s) as necessary (should anyone have the audacity to question their authority) with their own pseudo-science, confront, and destroy skeptics of reasoned science with support of the Political and Judicial sycophants embedded in the Leftisphere that promote and support their tyranny for the purpose of controlling evil capitalism, thus our very lives, our State, and our Nation.
Life is good for them. They thrive within their World of Industrial/Market abuse, confiscatory fees and assessments created from whole cloth of which they also confiscate.
We often discuss the continuing saga of Piracy off Somalia, but seem to not think of analogeous acts sanctioned by Leftist dictum (actually going beyond dictum, as in law) in our own land here at home.
The truth is that either an oversight of Science and Law is necessary to rein in the overpopulation of this particular species, or they must be eliminated as you suggest, and I agree.
Here’s what I would do to fix California’s economy.
1. Completely eliminate the California Air Resources Board. These people are the most useless group imaginable. They are a total duplication of the EPA and they cost the state of California Billions both directly and indirectly every year.
2. Build 6 (at least) new Nuclear Power Plants (units). But 2 units at Diablo Canynon. 2 at the Rancho Seca site and 2 new units in the So. CA area. This would create thousands of new jobs-good jobs that would be productive.
Just these two things along would be a good start.”
The Kalifornia Land Use Commission stated last week that there would be no more expansion of existing oil platforms or any new drilling even tho it would bring in BILLIONS to the state because “it would NOT be beneficial to the citizens of Kalifornia”.
How about we get rid of them, also? Total obstructionism.
Cluster them together for security, water supply, and employee training. Start a new city nearby or expand an existing one.
