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?????
