Jay Ambrose: Cutting emissions depends on nonexistent technologies

California’s legislation that is supposedly the rock in David’s slingshot which will help bring down the Goliath of global warming is in fact a pointless stunt that is based on wild imaginings, will do nothing to lessen the heating of the Earth and could impoverish California.

It’s a joke, my friends, a political travesty, and if California remains relatively unscathed, it will be because elected officials and bureaucrats ultimately will find ways to dodge the law’s imperatives, just as signatories to the Kyoto protocol have found ways to dodge that treaty’s obligations. They are not cutting greenhouse gas emissions as pledged. They are increasing those emissions because the alternative is gross economic hardship that would avail nothing.
