The Bad News & The Lie
by Tina Grazier
If you buy into this legislative bologna you deserve to pay through the nose:
"California's next great experiment starts today. The state Air Resources Board will outline this morning a plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2020 and prepare the state for much deeper cuts in the years beyond."
That’s the bad news…meddling will bring nothing productive and it will punish the public, including the poor, unmercifully. (The ongoing fires this year will set us back before we start).
"The bottom line for consumers, according to the agency's analysis: Electricity and fuel prices will rise. But improvements in efficiency should, on average, result in a net savings on household fuel and energy bills will drop."
Oh yeah…sure…and there’s the lie.
(quotes from The Sacramento Bee)

But Tina, the government has already very successfully meddled. You have a catalytic converter in your car. It would not be there if our government had not told the Big Four they had to put it in there. And they do cost. But the improvement in air quality in the LA Basin since the 1970s is an incontroverable fact, ... but I'm sure you'll do it anyway.

You're making my point. Conservatives and industry have been very cooperative when the science was sound and it made sense. Progressives refuse to listen to the concerns of conservatives. Al Gores BS movie is causing pressures (demand) that are unreasonable, costly and in fact potentially dangerous in terms of collapsing the economy. The sick thing is that he is profitting from it.
I have to go, so I'm out for now. Be back this early evening guys.
Great posts everyone!

In case anyone is wondering...I have no idea why everything is underlined in this post and in the comments. I can't see any reason for it.
Or is it only happening on my screen? Hmmm...it doesn't show up in the "preview" window...very strange.
