A Carbon Tax Wave? 7 States Considering Carbon Pricing to Fight Climate Change

[GtHawk]

I believe that was California.

I can't live in California anyway, because too much of the stuff I use/work with is "known to cause cancer in California". 

I'm safe here...

Everything here in California is known to cause cancer, according to the democrats and apparently one of the biggest causes of cancer must be industry and productive citizens because they are doing their damndest to drive them out of the state.

here is California's wet dream for carbon taxation https://sites.uci.edu/energyobserver/2018/10/09/projected-carbon-tax-costs-for-households-in-california-and-orange-county/

I love this lat the end of the article "Since the majority of the emissions are from gasoline, you really need incentives to buy hybrids, or plug-in-hybrids, or electric cars." As if electric vehicles get their electricity by magic and if we suddenly went to majority electric vehicles the statement would read, what? 'Since the majority of the emissions are from electric generation, you really need incentives to use mass transportation or ride bikes or better yet live within walking distance of your job.'

Maybe houses occupied by white people that pay their own bills,but you can bet your ass public housing denizens will get all the heat and AC they want with no penalty because the government would have to penalize themselves.

BTW,anyone remember the HUGE power bill Goober Gore had on his mostly vacant Tn mansion? IIRC,reports were he was using roughly 10x as much electricity than the typical consumer,and he wasn't even there most of the time because he was flying all over the world on private jets to promote his environmental book and movie.

People were saying there were so many lights left burning all the time that you could see the glow from the interstate. Guess somebody told goober the Boogie Man was going to get him,so he left the lights on to scare him away.

The joke (well one of the jokes) in Tennessee is that they left all those lights burning to help Al find the right house.

You ain't seen nothing yet. Just wait until they put together a brain trust and discover that living causes dying.

@ConstitutionRose

Given that it's Goober we are talking about,it was more factual than humorous. Even his mama once said he was so stupid he was untrainable.

I have no doubt that they have been working on that for years, but I think they want it worded more like this: Warning the State of California has determined that being born White causes death in minorities and has ruled that being White(unless Woke as a Democrat, Gaia Worshiper) is illegal.

Not 'just' illegal.... but also deplorable. 

The leftist media is making whitey look stupid pretty much every where you turn.   Case in point.... new show "The Neighborhood".... about a black neighborhood where a really dumb white (liberal) couple moves in.  The writers actually had the white woman tell the black female neighbor that white folks don't use "wash rags"... and had her act like it was weird that black folks do use wash rags.  Total BS, per usual.

Seems to me that many white people are so good at this that they don't need any help.

Some stories just write themselves.

A Carbon Tax Wave? 7 States Considering Carbon Pricing to Fight Climate Change

Democratic election victories raised the odds of climate change policies succeeding, activists and analysts say. A national plan was also just floated in Congress.

By Marianne Lavelle
Nov 29, 2018


At least seven state governments are poised at the brink of putting a price on climate-warming carbon emissions within the next year. Some are considering new carbon taxes or fees. Others are making plans to join regional carbon markets.

The situation runs counter to the instant analysis of the November election, which focused on a defeat for carbon pricing in Washington state and discounted incremental progress across the board.

I was talking about how the leftist writers make whitey look on TV.

It started with writing parts for white male characters which made them look like idiots on sitcoms. It has only gotten worse.

Exactly.   They love to make whites look flakey and dumb now, while making the black actors appear more intelligent.   Typical leftie racist (reverse racism) BS, IOW.
