Subject | How fast can we afford to go? |
Comment | Everyone is for clean air, including industry. We have made great strides since the 1970's to reduce air pollution and every resident of California is the benefactor. But we can not afford to do it all tomorrow, next week or next year. Protecting the environment is something only practiced in a significant way by societies rich enough to afford to do so. We, thankfully, are the leaders of the world in this regard. But if we choke our economy into stagnation we will no longer be able to afford to implement any programs other than extending unemployment benefits. Please listen to our business leaders and slow down the implementation of these Draconian measures during a time of true economic crisis. The environment will be better served in the long term if we keep our economy healthy so we can continue to afford the pollution control measures the rest of the world can not. Thank you. |
