Regulation: An initiative to suspend California's draconian climate law has qualified for the November ballot. The people can now choose between jobs and junk science and fight hot air at the ballot box.
Thomas Jefferson once said that when people fear the government, there is tyranny, but when government fears the people, there is liberty. And right now there are politicians and bureaucrats in Sacramento who are at least very concerned.
An initiative to suspend Assembly Bill 32 officially qualified for the ballot last week by gathering more than 800,000 signatures, far more than the 433,971 required. Those who signed might not know if the world is going to end the day after tomorrow, but their jobs or unemployment insurance might end soon enough.
The case for imminent and man-caused climate change was flimsy enough before the charlatans at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Britain's Climate Research Unit, among other global warm-mongers, were found manipulating data in perhaps the greatest scam of all time to justify what amounts to a climate dictatorship. But job loss tips the scales.
In the middle of a jobless recovery and in the aftermath of multiple failed stimulus packages, Californians and indeed most Americans are in no mood to sing "kumbaya" in the unemployment line as energy lies unexploited, and factories and power plants close or never open in the name of saving the planet.
If approved by the voters on Nov. 2, the California Jobs Initiative, as it's called by supporters, would suspend implementation of AB32 until California has four straight quarters where the unemployment rate is 5.5% or less.

Moonbeam is already at work trying to sabotage the effort.
He’s put wording in the ballot pamphlet narrative that essentially says this initiative allows polluters to continue their polluting ways.
effin’ jerk.

What happened there, the windmill caught on fire? Those blades capture a not-insignificant amount of energy -- especially when it's "on the loose" inside the housing.

What ever law that California adopts, it will never effect the climate. If they studied real science they would understand that geographic conditions of the region cause the weather to suck from time to time.

Correct. If anything, it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets a lot worse.

It’s a depression. Hussein can sugar coat his BS all he wants, it’s still a depression, largely of HIS own making.

The only way California has even a remote chance of surviving suicide-by-politics is by banning these from entering the State:
