Smart, sound, environmental policy need not be diametrically opposed to business. All the good that Nixon did to make air in California breathable again has been reversed.

jorgelito..... count me as a fellow conservative on this issue
In regard to California, Schwarzenegger signed the
Global Warming Solutions Act last year "that establishes a first-in-the-world comprehensive program of regulatory and market mechanisms to achieve real, quantifiable, cost-effective reductions of greenhouse gases....to reduce California's greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020."
IMO, worthy of discussion as a viable model for federal legislation and similar in several respects to the IPCC recommendations.
