The rest of your tripe notwithstanding, it’s not just about electricity, which illustrates the ignorance in your post.
Valero, a Texas based company, has a large stake in the outcome of this bill. They have a lot of gas stations here and a couple of refineries as well. This bill (AB32) that Prop 23 would suspend would hit them hard. Wonder what that would do to Valero’s bottom line there in TX?
Should I “enjoy watching” Texas “choke” along with CA as Valero sheds jobs in CA and TX as a result of this?
This bill is a result of collsion between the gov’s mansion and the rat legislators.
From wiki:
On June 26, 2006, the California Senate Environmental Quality Committee approved AB32 with a vote of 4-2. The bill, authored by Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez (D-Los Angeles) and Assembly Member Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills), was agreed between Schwarzenegger and Democratic legislators on August 30, 2006. On September 27, the Governor signed it into law.
The economic effect of AB32 remains controversial. In March 2010, almost four years after its passage, the California Air Resources Board (”CARB”) issued a report claiming that the law would create about 10,000 new jobs for California in the next ten years. A parallel study, performed by consulting firm Charles River Associates for CARB pursuant to a 2008 state law and released at the same time using the same raw data, claimed that the program would cost between $28 and $97 billion dollars over the same decade and would cause a decline in California household income in the range of 0.6% to 1.0% per capita.
Oh, btw, to Valero, thanks for your support in helping to push back against the rats, it’s appreciated.
Moron! My post wasn't in regards to Valero. It was in regards to California's environmental laws and the fact that California is the largest importer of electricity. Yes, I like watching them choke on their environmental laws that keep them from producing their own energy and causing them to beg others states for electricity. Got it!
