Congrats california, for supporting cap and trade carbon taxes. By 2020 we need to achieve 1990s carbon levels lol. Also this is going to affect any industry that emits co2 either directly or indirectly. That means if your business: emits carbon dioxide, uses electricity, uses the sewer system, uses the water system, uses automobiles then their net cost of doing business will increase. Basically, any business that uses energy will have their costs go up. Good laugh california! and you guys wonder why unemployment is 12%+, in top 5 highest unemployment rates.

Now if they would stop the illegals at the Colo river things might balance themselves out.

Well guess what? A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G. which is shipped in via truck or other vehicle will get more expensive also. Just how do you think you currently get all the goods you use nowadays? How do you think your food is shipped and refrigerated? AB32 as written and if implemented, will make your current cost of living go up, way up.

Think about it. The major source of CO2 is you, and there's only one way to reduce it.

BTW, look forward to your fare to be increased soon! Various mass transit districts have already stated this to CARB.

BTW, after reading CA City Data, I thought the point of living here was CA's wonderful places to go to (beaches, Disneyland, Yosemite, redwoods, etc). Too bad the majority of people will no longer afford to see these things anymore.

I have to ask this...

Why do YOU have all of this hate that YOU have for Texas and Texans?

Trust me sooner or later the pent up hate will kill you! You'll end up having a heart attack.

I'm sure Lincecum pitched a great game in the name of Global Warming & Al Gore, much as Cliff Lee was told not to pitch around Edgar Renteria by Exxon Mobil.

The Giants have great pitching. I'm pretty sure the players have not given these other issues a second thought.

There is no hate for Texas. But when two Texas oil companies funded a proposition to stop California's global warming law it became a battle cry. Texas became a target. Then Whitman praised the Texas economy and the Texas governor, Perry; that was not a smart thing to say. Then Newsom, running for lieutenant governor, used the phrase in TV ads: "Texas oil companies; don't mess with California." Throw in the World Series and Texas got a lot of attention in California. But don't worry; it's just politics and California has a lot to deal with.

You do realize that for some what you said is too complicated to grasp right?
