News Update 2: The Bay Area Air Quality Management District imposed a carbon fee on refiners, cement plants, gas stations and other stationary sources, despite vociferous opposition from the oil industry, which will be hardest hit. The fee of 4.4 cents per metric ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalents applies to a 9-county area in Northern California, around San Francisco. The district said the rule is based on the need to cut emissions expressed in the California climate law, A.B.32. (Source: E&E PM, Mercury News.)

WRONG!

The “hardest hit” will be the Leftist idiot consumers/voters who repeatedly vote these politically motivated Socialist morons into power. It will do nothing to improve anything.

Now, watch Bru get his/her hat handed to him/her over here.
