BusinessWeek and others are reporting that the “First Ever” GHG fees I wrote about earlier today have been approved by Bay Area regulators.
Air pollution regulators in the San Francisco Bay area have voted overwhelmingly to approve new rules that impose fees on businesses for emitting greenhouse gasses.
A spokeswoman for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District says the agency’s board of directors voted 15-1 on Wednesday to charge companies 4.4 cents per ton of carbon dioxide they emit.
Experts say the fees, which cover nine counties in the Bay Area, are the first of their kind in the country.
This sets a very dangerous precedent. The regulation not only considers carbon dioxide to be “pollution”, but it also calculates fees based on CDE (carbon dioxide equivalent) and on GWP (Global Warming Potential). Continue reading ‘First ever GHG fees approved by Bay Area Regulators’
After a week or so of CNN’s “Planet In Peril” being broadcast nearly every hour, sold on iTunes & Amazon - NBC broadcasts by candlelight in order to go green. Of course they did not turn anything else off…
NBC’s green halftime
Thank goodness for YouTube, because words alone cannot express the complete lunacy of NBC’s green halftime show Sunday night during the Eagles/Cowboys game. To conserve energy, the hosts broadcast the show using candlelight. It’s a good thing they conserved all that energy because the rest of the segment wasn’t quite so green. Not only was there a giant plasma TV screen on behind the hosts, the giant plasma TV screen was being used to show the reporter — Matt Lauer, who was on assignment (live) from the ARCTIC CIRCLE. But don’t worry, ladies and gentlemen, NBC probably purchased some fancy carbon credits! Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).
Perhaps both networks should read a little about Global Warming
Thanks Al Gore!
Say what?
