You know those insurance commercials where in the fine print is says something to the effect of "Not available in Illinois, New Jersey and New York."

I predict that you will begin to see products advertised that say "Not available in California."

Speaking of “green chemistry,” I recently bought a jug of mineral spirits for cleaning up around the wood shop and found that Home Depot only sells this new “green” product. I figured I’d give it a try. It’s advertised as odor free, cleaner for the environment, etc.

I dumped some it into a bucket and tossed some stain brushes and tools into. I came back and hour later, and the brush bristles were still sticky, and the tools were no cleaner than when I put them in. I took it back for a refund and asked them if they sold REGULAR mineral spirits. The reply was no they did not. So I simply said, “Well, until you do, I’ll be shopping for my stain products at Lowe’s.”

Screw the green crap. I’m cautious with the use and disposal of volatile chemicals. This reminds me of the removal of phosphates from dishwashing detergent. The “green” crap never works as well as the regular counterparts.

Why do any businesses keep trying to do anything there?

A new building code took effect that basicly states you can only use LED lighting in 50% of your house. If LED lighting is so good and it is at a fraction of the cost why not use it though out the house.

Well seems the problem is if we all did that So. California Edision Co. would suffer a huge drop in demand and they would lose money.

See folks, this green crap is all about money.

"Green chemistry" got a toehold in California and from there will climb its way on to the backs of the rest of America. Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a pair of bills into law in September 2008 that together are known as California's "Green Chemistry Initiative."

I warned FReepers about what electing Arnold would bring with his environmental policy. For the most part, they did not listen.
