Bogus comment Joe.

Fact is, if California quit sending more taxes to the federal government than it gets back in benefits all those red-welfare states would find themselves in deep doo-doo.

And less regulation?

Do you not recall what too little regulation did to California when Enron got on a roll?

Have you already forgotten how too little regulation of the financial industry caused the Great Recession of 2007? The very, very deep financial crash out of which we are still crawling….

Turn off Fox, Joe. It rots your brain….

if the whole U.S. did as California has done the whole country would be bankrupt and need the E.U. to bail us out too. And companies and non-profits would be running like rats on a sinking ship to get away from the oppression. we need economic incentives via lower costs and less regulation, not draconian commands from on high (court). it’s a pitiful lack of insight that drives such extreme measures as those promoted by the global climate change alarmists. it the whole U.S. did as California has done, the sky truly would be falling.

Most of this websites articles are so far over my head I must look like a dot to them…this I can understand with ease!

It’s no surprise to me that Cali, being a world centre of technology and innovation, would be a leader in any positive change…

“As environmental science has advanced, it has become apparent that the human appetite for animal flesh is a driving force behind virtually every major category of environmental damage now threatening the human future: deforestation, erosion, fresh water scarcity, air and water pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, social injustice, the destabilization of communities, and the spread of disease.” Worldwatch Institute, “Is Meat Sustainable?”

“The livestock sector emerges as one of the top contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global. The findings of this report suggest that it should be a major policy focus when dealing with problems of land degradation, climate change and air pollution, water shortage and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity. Livestock’s contribution to environmental problems is on a massive scale and its potential contribution to their solution is equally large. The impact is so significant that it needs to be addressed with urgency.” From the UN Food and Agricultural Organization’s report “Livestock’s Long Shadow”

Why would someone choose to be vegan? To slow global warming for one! Here are two uplifting videos to help everyone understand why so many people are making this life affirming choice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKr4HZ7ukSE and http://www.veganvideo.org

True.

This is about more than solar, though. Not sure of NJ’s other policies.

Good on New Jersey!

There’s room for everyone in the lead. This isn’t a race with only one gold medal….

New Jersey is installing solar faster based on land area.
