Arnies Green Legacy ... is

When Failure Congratulates Itself
“

When Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the landmark Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, there were 30 clean-tech companies in the Sacramento region.

Today, there are more than 100 such companies in the area employing thousands of workers.

Part of Arnie's Stinking Legacy

Too bad the Sacramento Bee didn't specify how many "thousands of workers," so I could multiply it by $50,000,- the ballpark cost for every "green" job created. And multiply again by 2.2  to discover how many jobs were destroyed for every green job manufactured.  But wait, I know what you're thinking -

"Is it fair to single out California when states like Maryland are no better?"
 
Yes, because of its size and impact on everything that happens in this country, 90% of which has been berry berry bad over the last 30 years, it is.  California stink is overpowering.  State voters, along with rehiring Gov. Brown and Sen. Boxer,  defeated Prop 23, which would have suspended its "Global Warming Act of 2006.  An idea so thoroughly discredited that some Europeans want the death penalty reinstated to punish their own recalcitrant Goreons.

... 8-9-10
Okay, I don't really hope California sinks into the sea so much as I want the United States to declare war on it and send in armies to recapture it.  And lots and lots of firing squads (I'm not perfect)!

Many of those 'green' *spit* companies couldn't exist or sell a product without taxpayer subsidies via tax credits for both manufacturer and customer, outright grants for 'studies' and R&D of things that will never work or turn a profit if they do. I saw one of these via the guy I work for part time. One of his customers owed him tens of thousands of dollars, and in trying to collect, he discovered that the executives were skimming off government grants and studies monies, selling company assets bought with what little they did produce and sell, and covered themselves with DC connections and very expensive lawyers. What actual product they did manufacture did run, but was not economically viable. My friend was screwed until an old friend put a former Sec Treasury on the case and he recovered some of the money owed for my friend. It took a threat of felony prosecution to get that. He said if he pressed on with the felony prosecution, my friend would not have received a penny and would have lost his business. When I hear stuff like that, I yearn for Luca Brazzi and Vinnie the Kneecapper.
My friend also built a prototype of a 'generator' for a couple of 'inventors' that supposedly would run on river current flow. It resembled venetian blinds mounted on bicycle chains wrapped around a box kite frame maybe 4'x4'x6'. The two 'inventors' had secured a $400,000 grant to 'study' the concept from Dept. of Energy.

can you spare a Greyhound bus ticket .. or $23,000 to get the bird in the air? I could send you one of my three nukes. You could drop it off in San Francisco and pull the pin?
