And We Wonder Why We're Broke
wait… no. we know.
CA is due to go [financially] Tango Uniform some time in early February. We’ll likely hafta call it “Feb” cuz we can’t afford the rest of the letters.
So what does the CA legislature spend its time on? Useful, constructive confabulations of flummery like this one:
...so as not to burden its citizenry with potentially enlightening science, the Governator’s State has conveniently lumped all “Greenhouse gases (ghg) emitted from vehicles includ[ing] carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (NO2), and hydroflurocarbons (HFCs) from air conditioner refrigerant” together into one “CO2 equivalent Value.”
...But given all its artifice, “CO2 Equivalent Score” lacks the magical connection sought by the legislation’s makers. So, having successfully misrepresented an amalgam of gases as one, the next challenge was to label arbitrary output ranges of that arbitrary blend as a vehicle’s “Global Warming Score."
...which they then will attach—on a scale of 1 to 10—to each new vehicle sold in the state. Flaunting the “traditional wisdom” that “less is more,” 10 is the optimum, most desirable score. Or the prime gullibility indicator. Whatever. Especially since, according to Mary Nichols, Chairwoman of the same California Air Resources Board,
”...Consumer choice is an especially powerful tool in our fight against climate change."
Yes. We have an “Air Resources Board.” And a “Water Resources Board.” Which seems to indicate that California stands firm in its conviction that it ALL belongs to The State.
