Let me explain what
this bill really means.
1) It shows that New Jersey legislators care about global warming.
2) They have a time frame on when to do it.
3) There are no measures in it on how to do it, so if they don't get it done it isn't their fault.
4) The media will turn it into a great story on how New Jersey is taking a leading role on curbing global warming.
5) Makes Republicans look evil.
6) Makes Democrats look good.
Did you notice this bill is all about image?
Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll, R-Morris, criticized the bill for not including "one single specific proposal" to decrease New Jersey's reliance on non-renewable energy sources. A better bill, he said, would encourage the use of radiant heating, hydropower and wind farms.
Instead this guy will be tied to the whipping post when his re-election comes around for not supporting this useless bill. Image is always better than effectiveness when politics is concerned.
Perfect example here and here.
Maybe I am picking on John Edwards, but I think it is pretty clear he takes the word Image to a whole new level. If he became President and ever had to make a real decision that could effect our every day lives, GOD help us.
