Comments on: Video: Is cap and trade good policy for CA? https://calwatchdog.com/2014/04/18/video-is-cap-and-trade-good-policy-for-ca/ Wed, 25 Mar 2015 06:10:10 +0000 hourly 1 By: Richard Rider https://calwatchdog.com/2014/04/18/video-is-cap-and-trade-good-policy-for-ca/#comment-78671 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 06:01:20 +0000 http://calwatchdog.com/?p=62689#comment-78671 Spot on. CA is EASILY the most anti-PRODUCTION state in America. Consider these figures from 2007 to 2010 — BEFORE cap and trade has started to have its adverse effect:

From 2007 through 2010, 10,763 manufacturing facilities were built or expanded across the country — but only 176 of those were in CA. So with roughly 12% of the nation’s population, CA got 1.6% of the built or expanded manufacturing facilities. Stated differently, adjusted for population, the other 49 states averaged 8.4 times more manufacturing growth than did California.
