“A recent report by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that more than 10,000 new clean energy businesses were launched in California from 1998 to 2007,” Boxer said. “During that period, clean energy investments created more than 125,000 jobs and generated jobs 15 percent faster than the California economy as a whole.”
California leaders refused to curb their appetite for "the pure environment" so they are about to claim bankruptcy and want the nation to bail them out. Obviously EPA rules are not sustainable in total....Ms. Boxer who panders to these useful idiots, should begin to look elsewhere for her retirement pay as the CA economy is in the tank for hundreds of wasteful and silly programs.....125,000 jobs doing what? Counting endangered flies or counting the blades of endangered coastal wheat etc......?
Motive: Profits.
Cap and trade will be our version of Smoot-Hawley.
Someday, Californians may wake up to the fact that the Environmental Lobby is the biggest culprit in leading the state to financial ruin.
Yep.
Our political “leaders” are trying their very best to emulate the idiocy of the 30’s in order to deepen and prolong the current economic mess. All to “save the planet” of course (and if there should be a reduction of population thru war, disease, starvation or whatever is a desireable outcome as this, too, will contribute to “saving the planet”).
Only good thing about Obama will be the death of private sector unions. There may not be 10 manufacturers left in the US in three years time.
All that is missing is a sponser named Smoot.
yes, but with Card Check and all health plans being taxed except the union ones, the clerks in your corner 7-11 may soon be members of Local 27
The PURPOSE of the cap and tax is to INTENTIONALLY PUSH business out of the USA.
Are these union thugs that stupid not to see this?
Deaths camps with carbon scrubber on the crematorium smokestacks
Maybe they will if the drug haze ever wears off.
You are so right. They are sitting on almost enough oil to take care of their budget defecit.
Barry’s version.
Hmmmhhh, they haven't heard of the WTO and its sanctions?
Smoot & Hawley arise from their crypts....
The union thugs see it clearly. That's why the union thugs want to turn the climate bill into a protectionist bill. We are headed for a very nasty trade war over climate change legislation.
In Barbara Bubblehead's California, 64,000 of those 125,000 were insulation and clean-up.
BLUE GREEN Alliance???
Is it just me, or does that not evoke visoins of landlocked ponds choked with algae; a.k.a. POND SCUM?
Cap and trade must be stopped in the Senate. I will post more how-to in the coming days. Thanks for posting this, yoe!
