More specifically, how much of my horrendous PG&E bill is the result of their requirement to purchase carbon credits? My monthly bill has risen over 200% over the past 5 years.

WCI’s latest 990 tax form shows assets of $1.7-million, most of it comes from CARB, some from Quebec. WCI in turn hired a Virginia IT firm at a cost of $600,000 to provide help desk services and administrative oversight. (I suppose nobody in Silicon Valley could have figured out how to do the job).

Mary Nichols is the new Treasurer of the WCI, in addition to heading CARB. The chairman of the board, is the head of CAL EPA, Matt Rodriguez. Don’t see any conflict of interest there, do you?

We’re still operating all of these boondoggles under the 2006 CA Global Warming Solutions Act created by that scientific genius, Fabio Nunez. The GWSA is solving a problem that everyone now admits, we don’t have. The globe ain’t warming.

CO-2 emissions have skyrocketed – the planet is cooling – scientists are mystified – us deniers are chuckling.

As Reagan told us, “Government is never the solution to a problem, government is the problem.”

Heavy-handed, ruthless, vindictive and hard-hearted government has run our state and our country into the ground. We can observe it best in DC as we deal with infringement on the rights of a free press, the politicos who could never trust us peons with the truth about Benghazi so they made up an election season fairy tale, an arrogant AG who wouldn’t prosecute jack-booted thugs outside an election site in Philadelphia, never explained the deadly Fast and Furious scandal and doesn’t seem to know anything about birthin’ babies or his Cinncinati IRS thugs browbeating pro lifers, Billy and Franklyn Graham, Tea Party folks, Patriot organizations and probably Cal Watchdog, too.

One Party rule in Sacto has been just as bad. We the people voted for a law, the attorney general decided not to enforce it and wouldn’t defend the will of the people in a court of law. We have a governor who needs to go back to the home and get back on his meds, piggies pushing to see who can be first at the feeding trough under the capital dome, a silly school system run by union bosses, prisons run by other union bosses, environmentalism run by biased bureaucrats, and a state budget that only a payday-cash-advance store would love.

Forgive my cynacism but CARB is a joke, so is WCI, so is the Capitol and so are the guys in the silk suits who went to DC from Chicago and seem to be running the place.

Down here in Southern California, we’re considering a secessionist movement. Anyone interested?

The earth warms and cools cyclically. CARB did some good for a while but like every government agency they have grasped for more than they can handle. They have gone to far and they need to be disbanded.

Didn’t Californians read 1984 in school…where’s the outrage?

In the last 20 years, Southern California’s population has doubled, but the air quality has gotten BETTER, not worse. New rules by government bureaucrats, however, are coming into play that will increase the costs of electricity, gasoline, roads, homes, services, you name it, for literally no significant betterment of air quality.

Californians already pay among already the steepest prices in the nation for gasoline. A good deal of this is due to the state’s mandatory unique gasoline formula and combined taxes at the pump which are the country’s second highest.

Cap and Trade, a cornerstone of AB 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act. Projections place the cost of cap and trade at anywhere from 50 cents to one dollar per gallon added to the retail price of gasoline here just for the 37 million in CA, for a go-it-alone State that contributes less than 1% of the GHG’s being emitted into the worlds atmosphere, and billions in increased general energy costs.

Under cover of AB 32, CARB is forcing billions of dollars in higher costs on our struggling economy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with global warming.

The problem is that California and its 37 million citizens contribute less than 1% of the world’s greenhouse gases. Solving a world GHG problem is not the responsibility of the few that live in California. Maybe China and India with 2.4 BILLION contributors may be, but not California’s 37 million.

CARB touts California’s “leadership” in the war on climate change. The “leadership” premise is similar to crossing the street within the confines of the crosswalk and getting hit by a bus – you’re right, but “DEAD RIGHT!”

Those who feel that spending billions to reduce greenhouse gases in a State that contributes less than 1% of the world’s GHG’s may be right, but they are dead right as it accelerates the exodus of businesses and jobs from California, and an unemployment rate that consistently remains among the highest in the country.

With California transportation fuels already among the country’s most expensive and our gas taxes the second highest in the USA, it’s impossible to justify the imposition of billions in higher fuel costs just to retain the title of “leader” in greenhouse gas reductions.

CARB would do well to get out of the crosswalk and stop throwing California’s economy further under the bus.
