so we all get our cars smogged every year.now it’s carbs.what next?more laws to fix the planet.which naturally will screw up something else.now it’s salt fast food obesity diabetes restless leg syndrome plastic bags asthma mental health and beware of pharmacuticals ,it seems from all the ads these drugs cause so many side affects they cause as many or most problems with overall health.it is such a scary world i’ll probably suffer from anxiety if i keep listening to all the bs on tv.therefore i do not have comcast and rarely watch anything and just read or buy a good movie.

Asthma goes up because the kids are living with parents who smoke like chimneys

I can’t recall if athsma is up in total numbers or per capita. Could be that doctors are diagnosing ever more marginal cases as asthma, so they’re picking up patients that really shouldn’t qualify, just like they’ve pathologized boys to the point that “how boys normally act” is practically equivalent to “ADHD”.

Mary Nichols in written response to Darrell Issa stated the air was over 99% cleaner,11/23/11. So how is it that the air is cleaner than ever and asthma cases are up? Perhaps because clean air has nothing to do with it. Try looking at cockroaches and the places they thrive. Low income people must live in housing where the roaches thrive. They live there in California because there are no jobs! CARB is a main cause of this economic condition that leads to asthma.

yep.
efficient washers dont have an agitator.
whats wrong with that idea? yet you are suppposed to use the higher priced concentrated detergent. its a wash. no pun intended.
and, forget the new electronic machines. they die sooner and its not worth fixing.
thats why i got the analog knob style washer. i can take it apart and fix it myself. its a pump, drum and motor folks.
yet government wants me to pay more to wash my clothes.

we’re over taxed and stuck with dingy clothes people.

That’s right, Bob, so I and my friends rarely use our “dishwashers” and hand wash instead, using more water. Or we wash our clothes or dishes twice, again using more water. Yet my utility bills go up, up, up, because every time we conserve, the utility raises it rates to recoup the losses.

How much longer before appliance businesses fail and even more thousands are unemployed?

CARB calculates “savings” the same way the FTC does: by completely ignoring both capital costs and output quality. For example, new clothes and dish washing machines do indeed “save energy”, as they are mandated to. They are not, however, more efficient, they simply use less energy (i.e. colder water) and produce a lower quality of cleanliness. They are also more expensive and cannot possibly pay for themselves in energy savings, just like hybrid cars.

This is nothing but another way to tax people. It is bogus BS pushed by the govt. Heart disease was just tracked back to the Egyptians………so it is obvious emissions have NOTHING to do with it.

I listened to some local gov t slug say that charcoal grills, gas mowers, trimmers, blowers would be illegal within a few years in Central Valley. Of course, we will be adding millions of unskilled cretins who will do their part to contribute to greenhouse gasses by taking a crap and a few pees a day. Souds like it might hurt us on quality of life ratings.
