China is all too happy with this executive order. The more EPA and Green laws, the more manufacturing moves offshore.

I'm sure it will blow over quick, it's just a little dust-up, after all they have lots of work to do "for the people" after the election..

"You can't rewrite a law through executive order," said Núñez, D-Los Angeles, who carried the bill. "This is totally inconsistent with the intent of the law and with the way that it is written."

Administration officials said the executive order, which the governor announced Monday but can't sign until today, when he returns to California, was intended to clarify the legislation...

The legislation was so vague you could run a million hummers through it. Yet another reason it should not have passed.

the enviros want exactly that - the de-industrialization of the US. to be honest, that was happening anyway, this will accelerate it.

Where does this dimwit Arnold get the idea he has authority to sign any binding agreements with foreign countries?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This is also going to hurt McClintock's chance at being Governor in 2010.

As I stated a million times, RINOLD is moving the CA GOP so far to the left that the only way for a Republican to win is to run as an out-and-out liberal. By then, the law of diminishing returns will have set in and CA voters will simply just vote for the Dim.

No shock they are all blue states. Hmmmm wonder if that means more companies relocating to red states?

Bill Clinton: Stroke of the pen, law of the land... kinda cool!

"Focuses on Developing Market-Based Solutions"

THIS IS BOGUS FRAUD ON IT'S FACE!!! Governments don't develop markets!!! Governments REGULATE and try to control markets, but GOVERNMENTS DON'T DO MARKETS!!! EVER!!!

Every day that passes brings some further bogus GANG-GREEN Socialistic Swamp Gas from this hyperventilated gas bag fool!!! More bondage and more globular warming coming from his shallow celebrity lips!!! Every day, another outrage!!!

He's hurting us more than a Demonicrat because no Republican has the guts to stop him. We could stop a Demonicrat from doing this crappola, but we can't stop a Republican.

I don't understand why the staff, membership and management of FR can't see this. We stopped Gray Davis AND the Liberal Legislature twice from enacting the Sierra-Nevada CONservancy!!!

Correct. Unfortunately, who is going to sue the State?

And Californians thought earthquakes were bad.

You can bet that the State of Texas will tell the green idiots to kiss our Lone Star behinds...and everything is bigger in Texas.

"California: 09/09/1850 - 10/16/2006 RIP"

: ) I left in May after 30 years.

I agree, SW. The voice of dissent has been squelched.
AB 32 has to be the worst legislation in decades.
Had Gray Davis attempted this, he would have been hung out to dry.

as more people move into texas from other parts of the country, things will change. its happening in PA, VA, NC, and in the western states as people move from CA to NV, AZ, CO.

my motto is - if you see something you don't like about another state, don't laugh at is - its coming to where you are too.

[Beagle8U]

"Correct. Unfortunately, who is going to sue the State?"

I don't know, but what happens if he sells a stupid credit that he thought the state would have in 5 years and it turns out they don't meet their stupid goal?

If they can't meet the goals will Calif be forced to raise taxes to buy credits from Brazil ?

This idea is beyond stupid.

In 1966, the California Republican Party lead Ronald Reagan to his first political office as governor and later helped move him to the White House. By 2001, Reagan was generally recognized the the progenitor of California's biggest nightmare; illegal Mexican immigration.

In 1980, the Assembly Republican Caucus empowered the legendary Willie Brown. In 2006, Republicans are still dealing with the damage inflicted upon California and their party by Brown.

In 2005, the California Republican Party enabled Arnold Schwarzenegger. In 2025, the children of today's partisan Republicans will be chagrined by their parents stupidity.

No, it's not stupid; it's evil.

I wonder if anybody has figured out that carbon credits are effectively a form of illegal fiat money?

If they test the air and it dirty, what is to say that the wind didn't blow it in from someplace else?
