Governor: Freezing AB32 'would be devastating'
Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says political candidates and forces in his own party who argue for the suspension of the state's climate change law are "trying to pull the wool over people's eyes" and have "the intention of eliminating" the landmark climate change bill he signed in 2006.
"There is no suspension," the governor said in an interview with The Chronicle last week, adding that the state's economy is "like a ship - and when you approach the iceberg, you cannot just move the ship."
..." He said the move would seriously undermine California's efforts to attract new investment and create thousands of new jobs in green technology. [Wait, why do politicians so consistently forget to stress that this legislation's original purpose was to save our grandchildren from CO2-induced fiery floods?]
