I didn't see this last September when it was in the news so posting it now.

Is "climate resiliency" the latest paint job on climate politics?

Invest state pensions in climate change? What could possibly go wrong!? /s

Governor Newsom will travel to New York City next week to participate in New York Climate Week events and discuss California’s climate leadership in sustainability, clean energy and fuel standards at the World Economic Forum.

I see lawsuits centered around “breach of fiduciary responsibility” against officers of CalPers if the Governor’s plan goes into effect.

I guess if they raid state employee pension plans for $3-400 billion, they can bring back the bullet train to nowhere.

Should we feel sorry for California state employees?

A few of them, maybe, but mostly nah.

Maybe restart Solyndra?

"Solyndra was a manufacturer of cylindrical panels of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells based in Fremont, California."

Newscum: “Buy our green filth or your pensions will burn!”

Brilliant. Force people to buy into fake green tech or their lifetime of work and built up pensions will collapse since they were invested into fake green tech.

Pensions are underfunded already. Who is going to bail them out when they go broke.

I’m hoping EVERYBODY in California gets an electric car. Lots of cheap oil for the rest of us!

More like RAID state pension funds, to create shady Solyndra-like shell companies which will seem to be viable, but only long enough for the politicians & their campaign donors to divide up the spoils amongst themselves, cook the books, & run.
Union bosses will want their cut, too, in exchange for selling out the rank & file to this scheme.

It’ll all follow the Clinton Global Initiative model.
