California may be terminated by UberGreenicide - thanks to the muscle Kyoto bending effort of Arnold and Terry Tamminen. Can you see taxes soaring, businesses fleeing and people on the unemployment line all as a result of an effort to roll back California's greenhouse gas emissions to 80% BELOW 1990 levels??? Yes - and they're not even implementing Kyoto to such a drastic extent up in Canada! UberGreenicide indeed.

How did Schwarzenegger become Conan the Greenarian, determined to wield and ultimately sacrifice his state to slay a beast that’s either mythical or invincible?

Think Tamminen. When Schwarzenegger appointed him California EPA secretary in 2003, environmentalists rejoiced. He “may hold the most powerful environmental job in the U.S. outside of Washington, D.C.,” declared an interviewer. And that was BEFORE Schwarzenegger heaved him upstairs to Cabinet Secretary, where he presides over Cal/EPA and ALL the state agencies.

Didn't aRnie say he was going to 'blow up' the CalEPA when he jumped in the Recall race?

I can't wait 'til he tries to implement his plan, and all the Limousine Liberal NIMBYs come out to protest: can't put wind turbines here, can't put solar panels there, I don't want that stinky biomass plant near my house...

Tamminen is greener than the Jolly Green Giant. Until the Arnold appointment, he was executive director of Environment Now. He was or remains affiliated with a forest of environmentalist organizations including the Natural Resources Defense Council, Baykeepers, Surfrider Foundation, Heal the Bay, Malibu Foundation, the Waterkeeper Alliance, Energy Independence Now, and coalition of about 50 green groups called Clean Farms Clean Water.

A decade ago, he was a struggling actor working cleaning swimming pools in Malibu. Yet Arnold makes him Cabinet secretary! But what should we expect from an Austrian with a mail order degree in marketing fitness? He makes a mockery of it all. This is a bad joke and a nightmare at the same time.

Um... 2050 is a LONG way off. This is a perfectly REASONABLE goal unless you love being held prisoner to Mid-East oil. Detroit needs to GET WITH THE PROGRAM. They've been holding back advances in fuel economy time and time again.

This is a NON-ISSUE being pushed as a hit-piece on Arnold to help hurt him from the right as he's being pummeled from the left in his 'year of reform'. Let's look at reality: The state's debt is being paid down, there's no new borrowing, revenues are up, no new taxes, cities and counties are getting paid back a year early and the deficit is down from 15 billion to just over 4 billion.
