CA: Plan for more coal energy in Nevada runs into Calif. opposition (including Gubinor 'GanGReen')

The SF Board of Stupidvisors weighed in a couple of days, now the rest of GanGReen including the Gub agree.

Damn. Just cut all power lines at the California border. If California wants to dictate what companies can do in Nevada (and the winds all blow east from there away from California) then they should live with the economic consequences of their holier than thou attitude.

California, you generate all the power you need under your rules.

[SteveMcKing]

What's needed is superior conduction technology. Then they could build nuke plants in non-controversial places and transmit the power anywhere.

Actually the real need is for people to stop complaining. If we solved every "problem" in the world, we would instantly find new issues to whine about.

[NormsRevenge]

superior conduction technology and mini-nukes..

good point... and why not?

[tubebender]

When is Nevada going to sue to stop Gaming in Kollyfawnia???

[Number_Cruncher]

It seems like CA is trying regulate interstate commerce. I thought that was illegal.

[Navy Patriot]

Ah,again Kalifornicate thinks that it should give orders to everyone. Could the queer state simply refuse to buy coal power, Ohhh noooo, just gotta dictate. Nevada outta just build it and they will come. That is, the California businesses to Nevada. The dope smokin' hippies and gang bangers would enjoy the dark, but the growers would have to move their plants outside.

Damn. Just cut all power lines at the California border.

Come now DG, you know how this works: the Grovelnator's supporters (natural gas investors who fund the NRDC) would just love those higher prices for natural gas fired energy to continue into perpetuity.

Brought to you by Republicans as well as Democrats. If we buy into it, we deserve what we get.

I don't know why they don't just build nukes and be done with it. In the mean time, cut those power lines and tell those enviro-wienies to stuff it. What do they need power for anyways?
Maybe they can get all the street bums, crack addicts and wellfare crack addicts, illegal aliens, lunatic lefty's etc. to pedal bicycles hooked up to generators to supply their power requirements.

[Dog Gone]

At some point the game becomes ridiculous. California is still refusing to host LNG plants, despite your need to increase the use of natural gas every year.

Your senators are trying to block the construction of power plants in Mexico to supply California with power unless they meet California emission standards.

California wants to impose its own fuel mileage standards on the rest of the country.

It's insane. It will work as well as the plan to have 10% of the new vehicle sales in California by 2002 be emission free.

It can't all be blamed on a behind the scenes political and financial scam. Some of your lawmakers are truly nuts.

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed a resolution Tuesday to oppose the plant's construction

Since when does the SFBoS have jurisdiction in Nevada?

the Grovelnator's supporters (natural gas investors who fund the NRDC) would just love those higher prices for natural gas fired energy to continue into perpetuity.

THE main emission from NG fired plants is CO2. Besides, the prevailing winds blow FROM CA to NV.....The coal fired plants wouldn't even get a smell in CA. (Though the citizens in NV can sure smell CA...)

In the mean time, cut those power lines and tell those enviro-wienies to stuff it. What do they need power for anyways?

AGREED! Abso-freekin-lootly!!!

[vbmoneyspender]

Remind me again which state Schwarzenegger is the governor of?

[ken21]

austria.

[Wristpin]

Apparently NIMBYism has elevated to a new level...Not only is it "Not in My Backyard", but Yours Too!

[Carry_Okie]

It can't all be blamed on a behind the scenes political and financial scam. Some of your lawmakers are truly nuts.

Look, they're also too stupid to cook this stuff up on their own, and too corrupt to do it without something in it for them. The bulk of their office staff have been around too long to let them do it without compelling reason.

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

The reality is, DG, the Democrats really have sunk that low, and the Republican "moderates" with them.

You might want to read the post at the link above.

It's long, but it explains a lot.

[Dog Gone]

Are you denying that their constituents want the free lunch? Zero pollution, no global warming, and abundant energy at reasonable prices? No offshore drilling, no facilities to bring it in from elsewhere, and a desire to impose the California superior attitude on the environment on neighboring states, and even neighboring countries?

If so, the rest of the country is getting a very different picture of the California electorate.

After twenty years of organized brainwashing by NGOs, media, and public schools, no, but remember who drives the brainwashing, writing the talking points for media and textbooks, and manages the leftist teaching college professorate: the greenie NGOs funded by our notable friends.

It's one of those problems that's so big it's hard to see.

[Dog Gone]

It's a self-perpetuating problem at this point, then. The brainwashing is complete.

Dependence upon government for protection from harm is a multigenerational problem at this point, what we engineers call a positive feedback loop.

It's amusing to hear public school teachers complain about parents who are themselves products of public schools.
