CA strikes again with CARB ACT

The core of the "climate debate" is all about greed and profits for those that sell the alternatives. History has repeated itself many times with various products, trends, etc that solve a problem created by those selling the solution

I'm pretty sure the the "debate" is as much about the polluters discrediting the consensus of the Academy's of Science of every developed nation on the planet for $$$ as anything else. As Friedman wrote in "Hot, Flat and Crowded" .."If there was a 1% chance your house would burn down in the next several years you wouldn't put your kids to bed there until you'd done something about it".. The Pentagon has determined the greatest threat to the future global order is not Russia or China or Radical Islamic Fundamentalism, but population migration occurring consequent to the effects of climate change.
Otherwise, we're getting there as ~38% of our total energy requirements are currently being provided by renewables, solar, wind and nuclear. China is at ~30% and increasing at an exponential pace, bypassing us in the capacity to store energy ( battery technology), key to making solar and wind viable.

I'm envious you don't have brown air, but you don't have a population anywhere near that of California. Your entire state is less than half of Los Angeles county alone!

I remember driving through the brown haze hanging over San Berdoo going to the Coachella Valley to visit my grandparents in the late 70's & early 80's... you could feel the gritty haze in your eyes and throat! CARB has had it moments where actual change for the better has occurred; that brown haze is gone today. Admittedly, they've got too big for their britches and need to be dialed back to reality.

They’re the 4th largest economy on the planet. Unfortunately they now only have 52 seats, at this rate in 460 years they’ll only have 6 seats like LA.
