EXCERPTS:

…. California Air Resources Board establish the nation’s first state-run cap-and-trade regime.

The only thing it will cap is economic growth by bleeding a patient that is already hemorrhaging red ink.

A 2009 study by economists at the California State University, Sacramento, commissioned by the California Small Business Roundtable, found the legislation would result in “a total loss of (economic) output of $182.649 billion annually,” with an estimated impact on small businesses alone of 1.1 million jobs. This in a state with a 12.1% unemployment rate.

The experience of Spain and other countries is that the purported creation of “green jobs” destroys real jobs through diversion of economic resources and denial of abundant sources of fossil fuel energy.
