Comment | Right now, the state of California has too many burdensome regulations that are driving business and residents away from the Golden State. Our unemployment is 12 percent and rather than relieve residents of more costs, the California assembly wants to implement AB-32. This bill that will make us pay more for energy with no guarantee of solutions to coming up with alternative cleaner energy. Our state ranks 51st (even a worse business environment than Puerto Rico) to do business. What we need to do is kill AB-32 and come up with a bill that encourages businesses to come up with new energy without taxing us. Otherwise, more businesses will leave and go to places like Texas, where starting a business takes 6 weeks to get all the permits and paperwork done in order to start construction and building of the business. In California, it takes anywhere from 8 months to 2 years with many more regulations and taxes once the business has begun. The solution is what Rep. Devin Nunes of California has proposed to Congress. It is called A Roadmap for America's Energy Future. It is three fold; allow drilling to open America's oil, gas, coal and shale reserves to end dependency on foreign energy. This will increase revenues and finally all revenue collected from the leases would be dedicated to a market based reverse auction that would allow us to transition to renewable energy in a cost neutral way. Check out the plan here. http://nunes.house.gov/UploadedFiles/Energy_Roadmap_Trifold_2011.pdf Please don't tax us, but come up with real solutions rather than a bill that has no plan except to tax us even more. Most Respectfully Josh Jacobs |
