[DeTomaso] Hearing on California smog testing

[Julian Kift]

Mark,

 

Thanks for the clarification on snopes and the bill. Someone in government needs to stand back and put all this crap in perspective and evaluate it on a global scale. It can't make a shite of difference to global climate change, so Califormians will suffer in order that some guy in some third World Country can continue knocking out cheap goods with zero environmental responsibility....better for the economy if the lawmakers would levy huge taxes on or even ban those imported goods that cannot demonstrate environmental responsibility in manufacture.

 

Julian

> That is just a bit of legislative legerdemain. While the law would not directly ban black paint, it would set up requirements so that black cannot qualify.

> BTW, I love snopes and use it frequently. Just yesterday I used to shoot down a hoax being passed around about how to survive a heart attack. However, you have to be careful with what they say and what they leave out about political and social issues. In this case, snopes went to great lengths to show that the law does not directly ban black paint but glossed over the fact that the end result is the same.

> 
> - It does admit that black is "an issue" (page 8)
> 
> - New layers of regulation and paperwork (page 10)
> 
> - Only slight benefits from the solar reflective paints (pages 21, 23)
