Arnold Schwarzenegger takes on Global Warming

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to cut California's greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels. Rather than simply offering incentives to businesses to cut back emissions, action will be mandatory.
Schwarzenegger said in a public announcement "The debate is over. The science is in. The time to act is now. Global warming is a serious issue facing the world and California has taken an historic step with the release of this report. We are all convinced that we can protect our environment and leave California a better place without harming our economy."
California Bill Seeks to Limit Global-Warming Gases
"California would become the first state in the U.S. to require power plants, oil refineries and other businesses to cut their emissions of gases that contribute to global warming under a bill introduced by Democrats today.
The legislation would require California, the most-populous U.S. state, to cap the emissions of so-called greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by 2020. The rules are meant to provide an incentive for investments in new technologies and spur similar moves in other states, supporters said." Bloomberg
