Sorry, the Bay area is out of step with the rest of the country. Get ready to welcome the Mexican drug cartels to your community. Now those folks are MOTIVATED.

The man I voted for frequently expressed his support of safe, clean nuclear power, told us that he wanted a better solution for used nuclear fuel than to bury it in a remote area of Nevada, and that he came from a state where 50% of the power is nuclear.

He has also stated that “you cannot get there without nuclear” when it comes to taking action on CO2 emissions.

Perhaps the Bay area is not as out of step with the rest of the country as the three amigos who have driven what used to be a reasonable approach to government into a morass of debts, silly social programs, and an immigration policy that prevents high motivated people from coming to America and buying homes and building businesses.

Why don't we make this simple and join the Kyoto protocol like the rest of the world? Also these "energy sectaries" should have rotten tomatoes thrown at them because they are the reason we're in this energy mess, because we did not go down the path of renewable energy in the 70s. Remeber it was the Regan administration that took down the solar panels off the roof of the white house.</p> Even though I agree the “cap & trade” system will hurt the competitiveness of Industry here in the USA because other countries will not have the same policies and companies will shift more operations overseas to reduce their costs.
