Making life better for everyone? Thanks for nothin. U and CARB gave us MTBE, thanks for nothin. Except poison in the groundwater. Do u really drive a toyota battery operated dustbuster? And you want the rest of us to drive one too dont you? What happened to “It’s a free country”? Oh that’s right, you’re a bay area effete snob and a commie and u know best.

enjoy your sit in today. What’s the topic? Protesting against today’s Supreme court ruling affirming the 2nd amendment? Or trying to overturn some other Constitutional edict?

I’ll sit here eating peanuts, drinking green tea and listening to Michael Savage. He’s talking about impeaching ruth bader ginsburg right now. We should be so lucky.

Thats the last I will comment on this one, Go back to your 8 mpg, soot belching Trans Ams. Im takin the Prius to to a sit-in.

don’t forget about the sticker that says not to use a hair dryer while you’re in the bath tub.

Besides, we already have enough stickers. We have stickers that tell us our cars require unleaded gasoline(as if there was any other kind available in the US), we have stickers on our visor warning us not to sit too close to the airbag (sucks to be you if you have short legs), we have stickers telling us to not operate our navigation system while driving (god bless those attorneys), stickers that tell us how much air we should put in our tires (just in case that low-pressure monitor isn’t working right), stickers for how to use a seat belt…it goes on and on. Then again, what’s one more sticker in a land where there’s a proposal to put warning stickers on WiFi devices to warn people that unsecured networks are not safe.

Why do I feel like Andy Rooney after this rant?

Please explain how CARB is helping you breathe. Have they produced some results that directly relate to air quality?

If you would like to fund my portion of this program, I’ll give you the address of a local Boy’s Club in your area where you can send the check. They’ll do much more good with the money than CARB will.

This waste of money is analogous to the $250B highway bill at the national level. No accountability and a loosey goosey charter with no track record of results.

BTW, driveclean.ca.gov is still down. Guess we know where the $800mm isn’t going.

bluecon… ???? I have no response. I cant tell if you are either agreeing or disagreeing that CA is in the forefront of many products and technologies that improve people’s lives. People can decide that for themselves, I dont have time to decide it for them, I have a CPUSA meeting to attend.

He knows no worse than some frequent commenters to this site.

As a Nevadian I’m all for it.

It will just push more economic activity and jobs out to NV, OR and AZ.

It the tomfoolery of the Communist Air Resources Board that props up the price of my too hot for CA Diesel KJ.

I guess this wouldn’t be TTAC without a knee-jerk reaction to pretty much any regulation remotely related to cars.

Marc knows best.

As I recall, there already is a sticker on cars that notates this info. It’s called the window sticker. The same information is also available at fueleconomy.gov.

$800mm for this department?? And we’re $17B in the red at the state level. I think we’ve found a place to start cutting that budget and get some teachers back to work. After all, with our high school drop out rate in LA hovering around 50%, some new car buyers may not even be able to read that nice new label CARB wants to use.

How ’bout this – we take CARB’s budget and hire some cops, build a charter school or two or maybe even (gulp) pay down our debt.

What an idea.

Your approach is akin to old-world missionaries who tried to save the world through prosetylization but instead blazed a trail of destruction while masking it in the cloak of benevolence.

You can consume CSM along with other news sources to try to get a balanced media diet.

Of course I am not even referring to the original CSM story, which is surprisingly free of editorializing. But instead, I am referring to Niedermeyer fear mongering on this. What’s wrong with a label that gives the consumer more information. I’m sitting here, in California, eating my Soy Crisps (natch), coincidentally reading the nutrition label as this story comes up. Its useful info. Whats so bad about that?
