And the other 49 (or 56) states thank California for the new businesses.

They are bankrupt, they have been take over by illegal immigrants, and they have elected a Klingon governor, so what does state government do? It finds a way to make energy — and life — even more expensive in the Golden State. Question: when will they deliver the coup de grâce to their remaining businesses and taxpayers?

Worry not. It is like Nazi Germany announcing, in December of 1944, new laws that will take effect in 1946. :)

AlGore's pocket just got a lot fatter. That's all this is about.

I just can't wait to see what the Brown has in store to kill the rest of this state.

PS: California has also put a bed tax on 'tiered' convalescent facilities (Independent living>assisted living> skilled @ $13.10 per bed ... per day whether they are filled or not. Our local facility, which I am on the board, has been billed $63,000 for the past 3 months and the bill is due Dec. 20. The state is on crack.

State officials hope the scheme will be copied across the US, but opponents warn it may harm California's growth and lead to higher electricity prices.That is exactly what it will do.

> have elected a Klingon governor

Acts, looks, and talks more like a Cardissian to me.

At least the Klingons have a sense of honor.

Jerry Brown would cry first.

Rest assured they will be expensive, environmentally friendly light bulbs.
