They are not happy with AB 32 killing jobs, they also want to add to the California deficit. California is facing blackouts and brownouts. So, power plants are going to be built. "Eight major advocacy groups wrote Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders on July 16 asking that they resist efforts to insert into the budget a provision that could enable the building of new power plants in the Los Angeles Basin."
These plants provide energy, jobs and lower consumer costs. Importantly, they provide the energy for jobs.
To these folks the act of breathing is harmful. "According to the July 16 letter from the Sierra Club, the American Lung Assn. and other groups, overturning the court decision in the budget deal would "add 10 tons per day of dirty particulate pollution to the Los Angeles Air Basin. . . . Our organizations have argued strenuously against 11th-hour budget proposals to weaken environmental and public health laws that have nothing to do with the state budget."
Two other issues are also reportedly on the table. "Bill Magavern, director of the California branch of the Sierra Club, said Schwarzenegger wants to insert a provision in the budget deal to overturn the State Lands Commission's denial of a plan to expand oil drilling off Santa Barbara. Magavern said the governor is also seeking to use the budget deal as a vehicle for his earlier proposal to abolish a key scientific review agency, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, which evaluates the effects of chemical contaminants."
The Gore maniacs truly believe energy and jobs are killing the planet. These folks if taken seriously will harm your family--time to listen to them, have a good belly laugh, then get on with the serious business of public policy.
