i think if this passes im going to go to the junk yard and rip out every AC unit I can and spread it around my front yard to air condition my plants during summer. Of course I will power them with individually powered generators with a banks module to blow out as much black smoke as possible.

Remember 'Demolition Man' with Welsey Snipes and Stallone?

California is becoming Coctos city. I would live down with Dennis Leary and the free people.

I also just read today they are thinking about banning TVs over 40" because of their energy consumption. They are beyond stupidity, rapidly approaching absurdity. As Arnold himself said...Get Out!

Finally can we please stop saying this is liberals or conservatives on this board as a sterotype. Not everyone that is conservative is a redneck and not everyone that is a liberal is a hippie, in fact only a small percentage of either side is really off their rockers and thats who you hear about the most.
Let's just say that extremist liberalism thinking is what is coming up with all these crazy environmental ideas that are trying to become law.

Hearing stuff like this about California reminds me of the Tool song Ænema. And it makes me want the lyrics to finally happen. Hope all you know how to swim

This is pretty ridiculous. Our country continues towards its immenant collapse unless we the people quickly take it back from the idiots in power.

I think its great that people are finally recognizing that we have global warming. It took them long enough to admit things were changing. And I'm all for trying to be more friendly towards the environment (within common sense). However there is evidence that global warming is not caused by us. Its possible we could be accelerating it but multiple planets in the solar system are showing anamolous heating up trends and since we only live on Earth it becomse obvious that we are part of some kind of solar wide cyclic event. So trying to get hyper anal about ways to fix our contributions to global warmer is laughable. The energy should probably be put into understanding these cyclic patterns, looking into methods of sustaining ourselves (food, shelter, etc) in the face major weather changes, etc.
