(CNN) -- Arnold Schwarzenegger laid out his environmental plan for California on Sunday, vowing to cut in half the state's air pollution if he is elected governor, and insisting that one can be both pro-environment and pro-business.And of course, before the recall election, Carry_Okie gave us an excellent, paragraph by paragraph, analysis of where Arnold was going on the environment, and who was pulling the purse strings.An environmentally responsible life does not require giving up luxuries, he told several dozen supporters in the coastal community of Carpinteria, about 84 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

"You can protect jobs and the environment at the same time; all it takes is leadership," he said. "As governor, I'll bring leadership, and I'll make sure that this stays the Golden Coast it is."
An Analysis of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Environmental Policy
Arnold seems to really believe the impossible hype that he vents. The very young can easily be fooled into thinking that we have an 'air quality' problem, but those of us that lived through the 50s know better. Too bad that the generation that made California a state cannot appear on television; they could testify to the constant blanket of smoke that covered all but the coastal fringe, due to the near-constant burning of the brush that covered the state.
