Opinion: Clean air and a penalizing plan | california, clean, penalizing : Victorville Daily Press
California’s on the verge of a massive, historic redistribution of wealth to benefit a select few and economically punish many, while simultaneously concentrating unprecedented power among unelected government bureaucrats.
The state Air Resources Board has unveiled its much-anticipated plan to implement regulations, mandates and a carbon tax disguised as a “cap-and-trade” restriction on greenhouse gas emissions authorized by the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The plan, to be finalized in the fall, will raise prices on everything energy-related, reduce profits for countless industries and aggravate the state’s economic problems in order to dramatically reduce greenhouse gases. Unsurprisingly, some environmental activists think it doesn’t go far enough.
