To fund an incredibly bad idea with another Incredibly bad idea boggles the mind.

What a hoot. Cap-and-trade will never generate any significant revenue. It's free for the first couple years and by the time the costs kick in, much of the "offending" industry will be gone.
It's like the situation in New York State where Cuomo had to drop his cigarette-tax revenue projection to $27 million. Next year, though, by God, we're going to collect $100 million. And so it goes.

Good for Brown! He’s a true visionary.
Just give all those people Cap and Trade puts out of work a pick and shovel and reduce the cost of high speed rail dramatically...

Its not going to be $100 billion, Brown said. Thats way
off.Oh, he is right, you know!
It'll run $250-350 billion, if BART, the Bay Bridge project; the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, and every other public project are any indication.
Let the politicians get their hands in it, and even a 10 cent pay toilet ends up costing a quarter.

They're like a pack of zombies. They just keep shuffling closer. The only answer is to blow their brains out. But I guess the sound just attracts more of them, if the movie is right...california is doomed.
