Global warming is a wealth distribution scheme.
Take money from the middle class and distribute it to friends of Democrats who in return give nice campaign contributions.
The beauty of all this is they do not have to prove they are doing any good. It is a win win.
It is like the billion dollar train to nowhere. No one expects it to get built but think of the millions of dollars that can be siphoned off.
The bottom line, California is a one party state controlled by special interest, all who are getting some sort of kick back.
As I understand it (from friends/family that have lived there), California’s environmental focus is not so much feel-good BS but real problems with pollution/smog. Having never been there, I can guess it must be pretty bad if they are more restrictive than my home state of NJ (with our garbage dumps & incinerators, oil refineries, etc.).
