Way to Go, Arnie!
California plans to terminate (at least partially) global warning!
In short, we're one vote away from a 25% reduction in emissions by 2020. The first state in the nation to tackle the issue.
It's about time!
"For years, the world has been waiting for the United States to step up to the plate and do something about global warming. This bill is basically the first step," said Bernadette Del Chiaro, an advocate for Environment California.
Business interests, especially oil companies, were irate and said they felt abandoned by the Republican governor, who had pledged to work for a bill they could support. They accused Schwarzenegger and Democrats of cobbling together behind closed doors a haphazard bill that could create unintended economic chaos.

Buck up, oil companies. Nobody shares your pain.

businesses will always crib. production costs go up and profitability is threatened. its a simple philosophy - "you have to give up something to gain something." Government incentives is critical to the success of such a model. It has to be a well integrated model that brings everyone on the same page. That did not happen with some of the earlier emissions policies (CAFE for instance). The Republicans need to realize "if you can't fight em, join em."
