Germany’s Green Bubble Follows Spain’s; Will Congress Waste More Billions on Ours?

Film director and environmental poseur extraordinaire James Cameron insists that we “have to live with less”. “Have to” generally implies, and specifically in Cameron’s case is intended to mean, something enforceable. Like, say, a law. Consistent with these beliefs, or at least this pose-slash-talking point, he has just given $1 million to the campaign working to defeat California’s Proposition 23.
Prop 23 would delay implementation of the state’s ‘global warming’ law called AB 32 — modeled after Europe’s disastrous experiment, and so touted dishonestly as the ‘world’s first’ such scheme. This is Cameron consistency because, as an energy rationing measure, AB32 is designed to ensure that Californians have to live with less.
That may cause some confusion among those of you in California who have heard that AB 32 is actually the train out of the current era of living with less, the train to a more prosperous time when, to hear its cheerleaders tell things, we’ll all be rich from selling windmills to each other. Or something.
But James Cameron clearly is also self-loathing. And on this issue we find rare common ground.

I also used to think James Cameron was "self-loathing." However, after much reflection, I have concluded that Cameron is merely an incorrigible a**hole.
I'm sure all four of Cameron's ex-wives will testify t0 the above fact.

Cameron has a mil less for shopping,
"Let's all live with less!" Are those hooves klopping?
Pulling out all the stops,
To give the bill props -
It's a tether for 23's propping!

The California Jobs Initiative (CJI) is an oil corporation farce and fraud. There is no connection, whatsoever, between greenhouse gas emission reduction and the loss of jobs. This notion is an insult to the intelligence of the people of California. In fact, there is job growth in the clean, renewable energy industry. Chevron employs 65,000 worldwide and CJI is not going to change this. The only jobs created by the oil industry are clean-up jobs after oil spills and deep water, blow-outs and pump-handler jobs. CJI will make fantastic profits for the oil industry, increase air pollution, especially in communities around their refineries and there will not be lower gas prices. Koch Industries, Tesoro and Valero are super Enrons. Since when did the oil companies start to show any concern for the unemployed and their families and for small businesses? Occidental, Shell, BP, Exxon Mobil and Chevron are silent partners in CJI.

I'm still looking for the facts you put forth to support your argument. Surely your desk is piled to overflowing with proof statements, or your computer hard drive is choking with irrefutable evidence. Hmmm, must be here somewhere.

Prop 23 would delay implementation of the state's 'global warming' law called AB 32 -- modeled after Europe's disastrous experiment, and so touted dishonestly as the 'world's first' such scheme. I felt very shocked by this news.
