This article is almost 2000 words--it touches on the Lockyer nuisance lawsuit, alleging that tailpipe emissions are a "public nuisance" contributing to global warming. But mostly it is about Terry Tamminen, his efforts (along with Maria Shriver) in forming the new "green" agenda in Sacramento, and his upcoming new book and a war on big oil.

"OK, we will make you a deal and settle out of court. We agree not to sell any cars and trucks in California, and will make our customers in other states sign agreements not to take the cars we sell there to California.

"We hope you enjoy walking on foot.

"Have a nice day.

Terry Tamminen: He argues in his new book
that the oil and auto industries should be sued
for perpetrating fraud.

[YOUGOTIT]

Do not allow any cars or trucks or gasoline or oil in California. Nor tractors or any other kind of vehicle that used any kind of fuel.

Have a good day!

Let's just let industry, transportation, and the manufacture of consumer products grind to a screeching halt, huh Terry? Because that's what will happen when you want more regulations, taxes, and litigation piled on top of already the 2nd most regulated, taxed, and litigated industry (energy) after healthcare. Then you can rename your commie book "Lives F'ing Lost Thanks To Us Envirowackos."

Judging by the numbers of California refugees and businesses moving into Idaho around me there soon will be no one but welfare recipients and illegal aliens left in that state.

Too bad. It is such a beautiful place but the dhimmiecrats and RINOs have ruined it as a place to live.

[Sooth2222]

I think it's a GREAT idea!

Discourage BOTH the oil companies and car manufacturers from doing business in California!

[Felis_irritable]

Inanities like this make me think "Loser Pays" is the only way that lawsuits like this one should go to court.

[SandRat]

The Auto companies should publicly tell AH-NOLD that the day he allows the suit to proceed is the day that they close all operations in the state. No Cars, no Trucks, no Dealerships, no Parts, no Factories, np Employees ---NOTHING!

Everything is moved out in 30 days to other states and nothing comes in.

Let him and the enviro nutties try to live like Havana Cuba.

Tamminen's unlikely rise began in 1991 when he persuaded the late Disney President Frank Wells to finance Santa Monica Baykeeper, part of a national network of environmental groups dedicated to protecting oceans and rivers. The network is headed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a cousin of California First Lady Maria Shriver.

Tamminen argues these companies are perpetrating frauds similar to the tobacco industry by employing hired-gun experts and front groups to fight regulation and sidestep the health and environmental costs they impose on society.

In other news, the rest of America joined in a class action suit against California for perpetually perpetrating fraudulent legalistic nonsense on the rest of us.

Just more crap from the Kalifungus crowd.

Don't forget to wipe your shoes before you come in.

"In the 250-page book, Tamminen argues these companies are perpetrating frauds similar to the tobacco industry by employing hired-gun experts and front groups to fight regulation and sidestep the health and environmental costs they impose on society. These two industries, he argues, are deserving of the same forceful litigation and taxation that has successfully reduced smoking rates in the past decade."

And to think I grew up admirering hired guns...(/sarc)
