Wonderful.. One more useless thing we have to pay for and one more useless law for our gov't to spend time and money managing and enforcing.

Got love that California Green. In the last three years Texas tripled the number of wind generators, while California wrote over 6000 pages of new regulations for renewables.
Some of what they do is good, but their diesel requirements have blocked the sale of 94 of the top 97 diesel cars in the world and those that manage to pass get about half the mileage of the European versions.

Problem was, Europe has less stringent emission standards for diesels, and they taxed the fuel a lot less...because they wanted to encourage it's use over gasoline.
CA, in their infinite "wisdom" declared that diesels needed to pass the same emission standards as gasoline vehicles. Which was nearly impossible until particulate traps and NOx-reduction technologies came online.
CA has plenty of windmills that provide up to 10% of the state's electricity by some accounts...but now the greens want to kill windmills because they kill birds.
This state has a lot of positives but it really does stink to high heaven in a lot of ways. You can bet that a carbon tax is on the horizon. In typical socialist fashion, they'll tax the population to a greener environment...because as we all know, throwing money at Mother Nature is precisely the solution.

There all FOOLS
No DAM FOOLS
That is why I'm trying to get DW to get the heck out of CA.
This global warming thing is a bunch of garbage!
Just another way to get more money out of us, extra fees for this and that, you get the picture.
Money is all there give a s%#t about.
