As California Goes So Goes The Nation lets hope that is true and "Maybe, Just Maybe" we have finally found the "Guts" to fight back and eliminate the Climate Hoax Madness imposed by the Progressives and Led by ex "v"ice Gore.If we in California can stop the disaster signed by that "Rat Fink Progressive RINO" Schwarzenegger the rest America will fight back as well.That Battle must include ending the Stupid Use of Very Expensive Wind and Sun until those sources are as cheap as Oil, Natural Gas and Coal. It should also include ending the Stupidity of Ethanol and returning those Food Crops, Corn and Soy, back to Feeding the Hungry of the World.So Maybe, Just Maybe. . . .TSGT CloughSource:http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/538638/201006251913/Changing-The-Climate-In-California.aspxIBD EditorialsChanging The Climate In CaliforniaPosted 06/25/2010 07:13 PM ETRegulation: An initiative to suspend California's draconian climate law has qualified for the November ballot. The people can now choose between jobs and junk science and fight hot air at the ballot box.Thomas Jefferson once said that when people fear the government, there is tyranny, but when government fears the people, there is liberty. And right now there are politicians and bureaucrats in Sacramento who are at least very concerned.An initiative to suspend Assembly Bill 32 officially qualified for the ballot last week by gathering more than 800,000 signatures, far more than the 433,971 required. Those who signed might not know if the world is going to end the day after tomorrow, but their jobs or unemployment insurance might end soon enough.The case for imminent and man-caused climate change was flimsy enough before the charlatans at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Britain's Climate Research Unit, among other global warm-mongers, were found manipulating data in perhaps the greatest scam of all time to justify what amounts to a climate dictatorship. But job loss tips the scales.In the middle of a jobless recovery and in the aftermath of multiple failed stimulus packages, Californians and indeed most Americans are in no mood to sing "kumbaya" in the unemployment line as energy lies unexploited, and factories and power plants close or never open in the name of saving the planet.If approved by the voters on Nov. 2, the California Jobs Initiative, as it's called by supporters, would suspend implementation of AB32 until California has four straight quarters where the unemployment rate is 5.5% or less.AB32 was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006. It requires that by 2020, California's emissions of carbon dioxide, which every human being exhales and every green plant inhales, and other so-called greenhouse gases be reduced to 1990 levels. That's a required drop of about 25%. The law's provisions take effect on Jan. 1, 2012.Schwarzenegger lashed back last week, saying, "This initiative sponsored by greedy Texas oil companies would cripple California's fastest-growing economic sector, reverse our renewable energy policy and decimate our environmental progress for the benefit of these oil companies' profit margins."That is how opponents will frame the choice — big oil vs. green jobs. Spain, which has subsidized green energy with a zeal equal to California's, has seen its economy wither to the point it's only slightly behind Greece in terms of economic decline. Studies show that for every green job created, 2.2 jobs are lost in the rest of the economy. The choice is between unemployment and faith in the climate change religion.A 2009 study by economists at the California State University at Sacramento commissioned by the California Small Business Roundtable found AB32 would eliminate 900,000 jobs due to increased costs to consumers and 1.1 million jobs due to increased costs on small business as AB32 caused energy prices to "necessarily skyrocket," as President Obama once put it.The study put the cost of AB32 at $49,691 per small business in California. For households, the estimated cost is $3,857 a year. Statewide that translates to $52 billion in added burdens for California families.All this pain for exactly what gain? Not long ago, the New York Times reported that a new coal-fired plant big enough to serve every household in San Diego comes online in China every eight to 10 days, exporting more pollution to California and the western United States than such draconian environmental proposals would ever hope to eliminate.
