I don't know what to say. Is everyone in California smoking weed? This can't be serious? It's time for the to secede and become Nutfornia. Let them go.

Any time you read something from New York City or California and think "this can't be serious?" just always know that it is. That's what happens when you put the least intelligent and most unqualified people (i.e., liberals) in positions of power.

Do cows pollute as much as cars? | HowStuffWorks

Quote:
Agriculture is responsible for an estimated 14 percent of the world's greenhouse gases. A significant portion of these emissions come from methane, which, in terms of its contribution to global warming,
...

The world's 1.5 billion cows and billions of other grazing animals emit dozens of polluting gases, including lots of methane. Two-thirds of all ammonia comes from cows.
....
Cows emit a massive amount of methane through belching, with a lesser amount through flatulence.

So much so that there are a few startup companies that are trying to figure out a cost effective method of collecting the methane and reusing it for fuel. I personally would rather them help fund some of these startups rather than put it on the farmers/ranchers via regulations. It think regulations end up more punitive than anything else...

Why? I'm all for startups creating market and evolving technologies. If successful they become job creators. If there is a "need" there is a business possibility.

Or are you anti-business now?

California has a regulation that all milk sold in CA has to be produced in CA.
