California's plan to cap greenhouse gas emissions and put a price on carbon is set to take effect without delay on Jan. 1 after the Air Resources Board today voted to make final adjustments in the regulation.
The board first approved the cap and trade program last December, but in an unusual move the board took up the final pieces of the nation's only comprehensive limit on greenhouse gases.

Like Greece, the demise of California is inevitable.... =.=
Ping.
California’s government is doubling down on stupid.
“Stupid is as stupid does.”
This will turn California into a green paradise... /s.

CA won’t be bailed out by the rest of the country next fall after the upcoming massacre at the polls.
In geological terms wonder how long it will take for CA to merge with Europe/Greece once again.
Just hoping the man-made climate change accelerates the san andreas fault line through massive earthquakes and 90% of the nations problem slides off into the ocean.

Well, California was never a state to let common sense stop them from doing stupid things. Ah, the hippies, queers and perverts, druggies, eco-freaks and illegals running the state. Should be hitting third world status within a decade.
In other neuws:

Deeeevelo-ping!
I wouldn't bet my beer money on that.
At least not on a hot day.
Flee Flee why you can, sell your houses why you can.....this ship is going down
Is it possible that Californians...the ones who are still barely hanging on, see that the dems are tightening the thumb screws; actually veer to the right in the general election and finally go republican. Could happen.
If you couldn’t get out of Kali before...now is a good time to step up your efforts.
If you decided not to get out of Kali before, hopefully you will wake up.
Let’s move all of the Occupy Unemployement movements to California so they can all live together.
“Developers have been able to largely avoid the same regulations that apply to a smokestack," said Paul Cort, an Oakland attorney who represented the Sierra Club and Environmental Defense Fund in the case. "But these projects do create pollution by adding to the vehicle miles traveled."
