#2 They'll just follow the Mexicalifornia approach of keeping the nasty dirty power generation out of their neighborhood. Just import it from other states and bitch about the price.

#3 # you have captured it exactly. What is most astonishing to me when I talk to the liberal policy makers in state government here, is the total lack of consistency in their environmental policies. When stripped away, the "green" never actually runs counter to their class-warfare, union-appeasement, swamp the state with illegals-who-vote-democratic, paternalistic attitudes.
Ask a California democrat about the impact on the environment by population growth and they scream about protecting the ecosystem. When faced with the fact that all the growth in California population is based on legal and illegal immigration and you recommend a moratorium on the former and enforcement of the border for the latter... they always counter that you are a racist and want to keep the masses pouring in.
When asked about the damge of carbon emmissions, they spout green gibberish about alternative energy, but nuclear......they grow apoplectic...
waste storage... but oppose the planned Nevada site because there might be a spill in transit...
Behind it all is the paternal political agenda, not the real concern for the environment.
