I thought it was the Incredible Hulk who was green not the Schwartzenator.

Hey crz, where does your AZ water come from? You got a dung heap clue? By the by- what is the % that AZ pays in State Welfare, as compared to California?

California is going to make a global warming breakthrough, all right. It is breaking through the top crust of BS and giving birth to the new technology: Flushonomics. Flushonomics is the political technology of flushing the economy down the toilet.

California, it's time for a courtesy flush. You are stinking up the place.

They want to shut down California's economy. I'm outta here soon but if these caps become stringent, this state will not be an attractive place to invest in and conduct business.

Sure. Let the Democrats explain to voters how they can fulfill those utopian global warming goals without putting every one out of work.

Schwarzeneger is announcing the abandonment of California's position as the world's eighth largest economy.

How about giving California back to Mexico ??? Problem solved and we get rid of Feinstein and Boxer.

Maybe they will find a way to cap all of that hot air coming from such as Michael Moore.

Mount Shasta will erupt with such force that the normal resulting ice age will cancel out global warming.

Henny Penny and ducky lucky will not be pleased that the sky isn't falling.

Just make sure you avoid eutrophication.

Seaweed aquaculture is a viable and profitable business; California's coast is a little rough for it, though.

It'd be nice if they started by painting the roofs of homes white.

Have you finished your de-salination plants yet? Before you get cut off from drawing so much from the Colo. river?

Of course I had to look that up! Algae blooms do not deplete the dissolved oxygen while they are alive, they create oxygen. The depletion comes when the algae dies and the plant matter decays. But if the plants are harvested for creating ethanol or biodiesel then the oxygen depletion doesn't happen. Also there are easy ways to get extra oxygen into the water if needed.

Unlike most plants algae are free floating and rugged, can take most of what the open ocean has to dish out. The problem with using the open ocean is species contamination and getting the CO2 out there for them to grow. Initially algae farms will probably be expensive enclosed saltwater ponds near the ocean.

Sounds like good sound bite material.

I can't help but note that California has already delt with a chunk of it's energy pollution issue by building transmission lines into Nevada (and further) and putting new power plants out in BFE. They're a special legislative exception and are treated as part of California for electic power generation purposes. Bet they are'nt treated as part of California's CO2 budget.

So I suspect Arnold knows he's just moving construction of fossil generation over the state line. Could be a reasonable solution. Unless you live in a neighbor state, even then there are new good jobs which have to be few a far between in BFE.
