Do you know where the Yucca Valley is? If you don’t, that’s okay. It’s in a relatively obscure part of inland Southern California. It’s sparsely populated compared to the big metropolitan areas of the Golden State. If you are in the Yucca Valley, it’s a big deal that WalMart is coming to town. It means… More consumer choices for products, lower prices for consumer goods, and, of course, jobs! In our current recession, there’s been a big slow down in new construction and the opening of new retail stores. So, a WalMart for Yucca Valley… It’s all good, right?
WRONG. In today’s Los Angeles Times, there is a story about how the construction of this new superstore in the Yucca Valley has been halted by a judge! Why? Because apparently WalMart has not, according to the Judge, taken the proper steps to ensure that their new facility offsets enough carbon emissions.
How could this be? This is yet another iteration of the actual REAL and NEGATIVE economic impacts of the global warming alarmism policies being enacted in the State Capitol. Advocates of new statewide regulations to reduce the amount of carbon emissions made by people (despite the fact that the impact of people-created emissions has on the globe’s temperature are very much in question) is having a very real, bad effect, on the quality of life for Californians. The halting of this particular store is just one of hundreds of examples around the state.

This Walmart situation is the tip of the greenhouse “iceberg”.
Any nit should know Democrats and RINOS stand for “fairness”, regulation, control….in other words….use regulation and control for promote fairness…the taking down of the wealthy…is that not fair???? lots of us chums just can’t hack it out there, so invent whack job enviro laws to punish wealth generators….who by the way increase your standard of living…
Of note…less car dealers means less choice and less competition….soon you will be presented with one JUGO dealer in your town…and no trucks, no SUV’s and of course, no dark color choices, for dark colors create heat….ala greenhouse stuff!!!
Any of you who ever consider enviro or obesity regulations are doomed to be an urban serf…

Walmart distributed thousands of copies of Gore’s global warming mendacity to schools all over the country. Looks like the dog Walmart fed has bitten back. Too bad Walmart did not balance the Gore propaganda with some facts on global warming, instead of contributing to the brainwashing our kids.
