“a bill mandating a cut in state greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. “
Complete insanity.
I just read that the “poor nations” that have been carried on the backs of capitalist nations for years now want “reparations” for causing “extreme climate changes.” Since the phonyass “courts” would never ask them to prove their case, we need to cut off all aid to these idiots until they can prove to the US taxpayers that we actually caused their sewer of a country to continue being a sewer.
been waiting to see this.
without the bankrupt gop leg in ca to prop them up, the dems are now completely responsible for the leftist failures in the state and starting to crack up because of it.
use this opportunity to start an independent conservative party in ca.
BTW, how has California’s strict environment policies helped their climate?
Imagine the EPA without the accountability.
WTF? What accountability?
Yeah, that works. (sarcasm)
Why do liberals want to kill the plants?
Sounds like the poor dems are rebelling against the rich dems.
That's his minority constituency he's talking about lol
I don't have to imagine. The EPA has no accountability.
SB 350 was a disaster from the get go. Funny how little attention was paid to this bill until the last minute. This bill would kill jobs and kill our food supplies. But, Jerry wants his meth express bullet trains running from nowhere to nowhere, another disaster waiting to happen.
It ASTOUNDS ME that Republicans have SO MUCH TROUBLE understanding just how far left the Democrats are.
Be it ‘gay marriage’, giving Iran nukes, Open Borders, there’s really no end to it.
...and now this. Even with this STUNNING REBUKE of their own leadership by DEMOCRAT representatives, Republicans will still continue to think that they only way to reach voters is to also push Global Warming ‘solutions’, just not quite as harshly.
Republicans are TOTAL IDIOTS...with one exception.
TRUMP - 2016!
California loves to punish homeowners and taxpayers in the quest for a “perfect” environment by enacting endless, dubious regulations filled with good intentions.
We’re attempting to add a small addition to our home in Campbell. There are a myriad of hoops we have to jump through involving extra time and money begging for permission from the planning commission before we can even submit plans to the building department. We’ve paid our indulgences and are not praying for mercy on our souls.
We received a bid to replace our roof. Part of the proposal stated the roofing company will “Provide a third party lead based paint test on all exterior surfaces of the house as required by the EPA” WTF? We repainted the whole dang house last year and I can be 100% sure it was not lead paint......The spiderweb of regulations is never ending. Talk about the death of a thousand cuts. Of course any complaint I make is greeted with “What, you don’t want a safe home/community/environment???”
If it weren’t for jobs and family and another 7 or 8 years until retirement we’d be outta here, though the tentacles of good intentions reach everywhere......
Re: “Democrats also forced Mr. Brown to scrap a measure that would have given the California Air Resources Board plenary authority to reduce statewide oil consumption in vehicles by half by 2030.”
California air standards already require specialized refineries to produce custom blends of gasoline.
If you own one of those refineries are you going to upgrade your equipment or invest in R&D when the governor has vowed to destroy your business in 15 years?
Are you going to build a new gas station or upgrade the one you already own?
California already has the most expensive gasoline in the country.
And it’s going to get way more expensive and way more difficult to buy in the future.
Since California has banned new nuke and new coal generators, where is all the electric power for electric vehicles going to come from?
It looks like part of the brilliant, intellectual-genius, morally-superior Progressive community is beginning to think with brains that have been dormant for a long time.
IMHO
