By 2020, California’s plan is to reduce pollutants overall by 10 percent from current levels, while simultaneously driving investment dollars further into energy technologies. Sources have noted this can only end up benefiting the state’s economy; they have also said that with this plan, California is leading the way for all states to take more aggressive measures.

In a report from Washington yesterday, President George W. Bush spoke disparagingly of a bill set to combat climate change. The bill is currently the subject of Senatorial debate this week. Comments from the President are below.
President Bush: “Today, the Senate is debating a bill called the Warner-Lieberman bill which would impose roughly $6 trillion of new costs on the American economy. There’s a much better way to address the environment than imposing these costs on the job creators which will ultimately have to be borne by American consumers.
“I urge the Congress to be very careful about running up enormous costs for future generations of Americans. We’ll work with the Congress, but the idea of a huge spending bill fueled by taxes (sic) increases isn’t the right way to proceed.”
