Schwarzenegger calls Texas oil companies 'greedy'
SacBee: Capitol Alert ^ | 4/13/10 | Kevin Yamamura

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday rebuked oil companies Valero and Tesoro for financing an effort to suspend the state's greenhouse gas reduction law, labeling the companies "greedy."

The governor made his remarks during a press conference on the Capitol's east steps to promote the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt.

Valero, based in San Antonio, Texas, has given $500,000 so far toward a signature-gathering drive to suspend Assembly Bill 32, the 2006 law requiring California to roll back greenhouse gas emissions 25 percent by 2020. Tesoro, also based in San Antonio, has contributed $100,000.

NOTHING surpasses the greed of central banks and their related financial institutions and investment houses. Financial cyanosis is advanced, and all publics in the Western world are gasping as exhaled financial oxygen is not replaced. Energy greed is in second place.
