To the pro-prop 23 crowd: Please cite a single environmental regulation that, after going into effect, caused widespread economic damage. BigOil/BigPollution always whines about the sky falling any time a new environmental regulation is proposed, but has there ever been an environmental reg that caused serious damage to the economy?

In response to your question above, your question is either carefully crafted to be intentionally misleading (e.g., single environmental regulation), and a likely a fallacy of composition, or perhaps you have never run a private business and dealt with the layers of layers of regulation needed to operate a business in California. It is the stacks of regulations and taxes that keep businesses from hiring more poor and working class folks and this is a significant reason why California and American businesses are failing or moving overseas.

Seriously, we probably have a 20% real unemployment rate in California and this is economic suicide.

Besides, as mentioned by other posters, global warming, in my opinion an adult fantasy for the left, is not present and if present this regulation would do nothing to stop it.

In conclusion, it this type of pie-in-the-sky and adolescent thinking advocated by the left that will hopefully lead to their mass removal from office in November.
