Comment:
I am among I am sure most of the state who feel implementing this
for one thing is a bad idea.  For another thing to do this at THIS
time with the budget deficit, bad climate for business, bad
economy, etc. is insane!  I am quoting from an article in the
Orange County Register in the opinion section titled "Wrong plan at
wrong time".  "The Air Resources Board meets today to vote on the
plan.  But six highly regarded economic experts commissioned by the
agency found its economic projections significantly underestimated
costs.  One reviewer said the projections give "the appearance of
justifying" the regulations "rather than evaluating" them.  Another
criticized the rosy projections for leaving the erroneous
impression of a "free lunch," when great costs are invloved.  The
state's independent Legislative Analyst's Office also found the
resource board's projections flawed by "a lack of analytical
rigor.""  Global warming alarmists have people so worked up they
will believe anything but common sense!  This also from the same
article - "These economically disastrous proposals are advanced on
the unreasonable fear of glabal warming, something that hasn't
occurred for almost a decade.  As Dr. David Gee, chairman of the
2008 International Geological Congress, put it:  "For how many
years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the
planet is not warming?""  Now, I am not a scientist, I just have a
logical mind to work with.  If the planet in the past cooled and
warmed without us, it surely will with us.  But, with that being
said, when is the last time you heard anyone say ANYTHING in the
media or anywhere about the hole in the ozone layer?????
