KFI:
Yesterday the California Air Resources Board voted unanimously to approve the strictest methane emissions rules in the United States.
The regulations, which take effect in January 2018, tighten efficiency requirements for the production and transportation of natural gas and for some oil-handling equipment.
They call for a 40% reduction in methane and fluorinated gases, and a 50% reduction in non-forest black carbon emissions by 2030.
They also require more effective monitoring and reporting of potential leaks so they can be located and fixed quickly.
Luckily California is the butt plug manufacturing capital of the Nation. The industry was looking to relocate to another state due to Ca. High taxes. But now the new regulations will allow them to stretch their resources.
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
lynard skynard.
If CARB wants lower stinkin’ emissions, they should
SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!
HEY NOKO, HURRY UP WITH THAT WEST COAST NUKE, WILL YA PLEASE??? TIRED OF ALL THE PROMISES AND NOTHING BUT SIZZLE!!
What about the flatulence associated with massive quantities of beans, jalapenos and cheap beer? Get rid of sanctuary cities, and the air would be muy perfecto.
What is a non-forest black carbon emission? Racist?
You can also blame Schwartzenegger who signed AB 32 into law. The California Air Resources Board has been proposing draconian regulations for years now, but most of the implementation was delayed during the recession and the Obama “recovery.” But now that things are on a more even economic keel, look for CARB to kill any further recovery.
CARB’s head is Mary Nichols, a committed environmentalist who now wields a lot of power. Since the goal of AB 32 is to reduce carbon emissions to pre-1990 levels, Californians should be in for an interesting several years.
Does the regulation apply to the continually growing flatulence of CA lawmakers? If the methane emitted by politicians was ignited, it would look like the Ukrainian ammo burn
Quit calling them cows, and start calling them private Hollywood jets, yachts, and cruise ships, and the emissions will magically stop. What kind of dipshits believe that farts from natures creatures are ruining the planet? What imbeciles.
If Man is the root cause of “Global Warming” then why are they blaming it on the cows?
Yep, our biggest problem out here in flyover country are those floating pockets of methane gas produced by the large numbers of bovines being bred, boarded, milked, and harvested for meat for coastal markets.
We lightem’ like the kids do with their farts and call it “fireworks.” Don’t ya know.
@Rat Fink, Man eats meat. Man raises lots of cows to eat their meat. Meat bad. Man bad.
See, it fits their narrative!
Now, I’m going to make myself some steak and eggs for breakfast … yum!
Kalifornia, an undeclared bankrupt state, really needs to shut down their air and water boards. Complete waste of money the state does not have.
That “Smell of Death” you speak of is actually the death of the California economy thanks to the stupid narrow minded liberal asswipes running that state into the ground. Leaving that commie shithole was the best thing I ever could have done for my mental well being.
In Wisconsin we would just say come smell our Dairy-Air!!! Get it???
