Not sure what you are talking about.

We have C&T in the NE U.S. — highly successful.

We had it implemented for Acid Rain — heard of acid rain lately?

EU is so far ahead of its CO2 reduction targets that it is looking to increase them considerably. Anyone else cutting emissions as needed?

The only previous experience we have with C&T is in Europe. And, frankly, that experience isn’t one to make one hopeful.

No previous experiences with C&T would lead one to believe that and i’ve seen no evidence that would be the odd case in CA.

This California Cap and Trade plan won’t raise a dime of revenue. These taxes will just be the death warrant for California business. Those that can pass the cost along to the consumer will do so. Those that can’t will either go out of business or leave the state.

The net effect of this will make California less competitive. More unemployment, more job and taxpayer exodus.

Federal ethanol policy increases Government motors oil use and Big oil profit.

It is reported that today California is using Brazil sugar cane ethanol at $0.16 per gal ($8billion for Big oil) increase over using GMO corn fuel ethanol. In this game the cars and trucks get to pay and Big oil profits are the result, that may be ready for change.

Folks that pay more at the pump for less from Cars, trucks, food, water & air need better, it is time.

The car tax of AB 118 Nunez is just a simple Big oil welfare program, AAA questioned the policy and some folks still agree.

AB 523 is just a short put (waiver) from better results.
