Let’s see . . . this coming from the passenger riding in a car driving how fast while on his way to grandstanding for the Imus “controversy”?

The pain won’t kick in until the responsible politicians are decades out of office. This is just free symbolism.

"We need to be careful of congratulating ourselves on this legislation because the hard work is yet to be done," said Doug O'Malley, the field director for Environment New Jersey, a green group that helped form the law..

More feel good legislation whose goals will never be met. Similar to Kyoto. Let's hope that New Jersey pays a price and the public starts clamoring for the heads of the fools who passed it.

New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, signed a law on Friday making the state the latest to bypass the Bush administration by setting mandatory regulations to fight emissions of gases scientists link to global warming.
Cool. What a boon to other states prepared to absorb the capital flight from the once prosperous state of NJ. If individual states want to hamstring their growth in favour of the cause of the hour, well, let them.

"We want to send a message to Washington. Wake up, get with the program and start doing something about greenhouse gases," Corzine told reporters at Giants Stadium."

How fitting the announcement by a loser be made in a place where losers work and play.

Now if we can get Bloomberg to make a similar announcement in Yankee Stadium.

But its long term goal of cutting emissions 80 percent by 2050 is a target, not a hard mandate. Environmentalists said the New Jersey law is tougher than California's because its 2050 target is enforceable.

Meaningless feel-good legislation.

If they want to economically cripple their state, that’s their right. I’ll be pointing and laughing at their third world existence from my own state.

New Jersey will suffer economic consequences for this stupidity. But they deserve it for electing Corzine.

It should be noted that this is in a state that -- due to its proximity to New York City and Philadelphia and its location downwind from the Rust Belt -- would fail to meet Federal air quality standards even if everyone walked to work and all residential and industrial emission sources were shut off completely.

“We need to be careful of congratulating ourselves on this legislation because the hard work is yet to be done,” said Doug O’Malley, the field director for Environment New Jersey, a green group that helped form the law.

This went quickly from a “feel good” thing to a “maybe we over-did it” thing.

As the old saying goes, “be careful what you wish for.”

But the funniest line is from Gov Corzine himself.

“We want to send a message to Washington. Wake up, get with the program and start doing something about greenhouse gases,” Corzine told reporters at Giants Stadium.

In other words, we’re going to screw the people of NJ and screw up the entire New Jersey economy just to show you we mean business.

New Jersey on Friday became the first U.S. state to mandate sharp greenhouse gas reductions by 2050 in an effort to fight climate change.

In a follow stunning article in 2025 New Jersey officials are puzzled by the rapid deceleration of business growth and the depopulation of New Jersey.

Some right wing extremist think the very unpopular hated "Green House Laws" passed in 2007 is the root cause of this problem.

Governor Chelsea Clinton believes New Jersey needs to follow the new economic plan in California recently signed into law by Governor Paris Hilton that doubles the tax burden of anyone who can't afford Prada shoes

>>>>The law also seeks to deal with emissions from vehicles, the largest source of the emissions in New Jersey, by enhancing public transportation, car-pooling and the shipping of goods by rail instead of truck.

It will fail, as all liberal solutions, and then the liberals will call for stronger laws like the ones that failed.
This is leading to a carbon TAX!
