NO! Oil lobby is trying to get it to pass to overturn a lot of the environmental laws in place. NOOOOOOO suck my dick exxon then go jump of a bridge
You know, comments like this piss me off. It is not the responsibility of the reader to source information. If you are going to make comments about something then at least have the courtesy of sourcing some information for the reader to view. I have never read a technical journal, or a research article, or a book that did not provide references. Why? Because that is the authors job. Not the readers. The readers job is to validate the sources provided, not provide them himself.
I'd rather vote for jobs than junk science. California will watch their state burn to the ground so long as Algore approves. YES on PROP 23.
its kinda funny but even if i hadnt looked at the bill i would still feel confident with that little piece of knowledge...call me ignorant but i am willing to bet lots of money that whatever is in the interest of oil companies is not in ours or the health of the planets for that matter. carnegie, standard oil, environmental catstrophies, gulf of Mexico? does history have any relevance or is an elusive document all that counts?
From my limited understanding of prop 23(I haven't read the bill), this bill is just going to abolish some regulations. From that tidbit of knowledge, I'd say I probably support this bill.
Prop 23 would repeal the Anti Global Warming bill, a retarded law that seeks to regulate CO2 emissions. What all the greenies fails to realize is that this anti-human legislation isn't backed by any credible science, only appeals to emotion and Goldman Sachs. Even if all the debunked AGW theories were real the effects of cutting back emissions would be marginal at best. We're talking a fraction of a degree over a century. I think California should be worried about the jobs and security of their people before pretending that they can save the world.
so you are going to vote to pass it? idk it seems like a lose/lose if what you say is true and it does seem plausible...
No, I don't vote in CA. I understand the aversion to voting alongside the oil companies, but just because they're huge and influential doesn't mean they're always wrong.
Nearly every decision in politics mostly are. The AGW is written by corporations nearly equally "destructive" of the environment as big oil that have a market stake in keeping cheap competitors out of the economy with regulation and funded and backed by pseudo-science and big-big money. The same money that often funds oil companies' lucrative ventures in fact. PROP 23 is also written by not so environmentally friendly companies and backed by psuedo-economics and big-big money. Anytime politicians or corporations rally behind "jobs" its often a just as unabashed attempt to scurry away competitive upstarts chipping away at their unstable, overextended, government backed markets. You decide which one to go with.
