In a move which is sure to see outcry from freedom-loving Republicans in bars throughout the state, supporters of the scheme claim that it will save Cali residents over $8bn in 10 years in energy costs.


Yeah, California's enormous, but I doubt those figures :?

And how cynical is such a ban anyway? :roll:

Yeah - but only on a BIG screen can you see how MIGHTILY AWESOME the Governator is. Especially in the first two Terminator films. I would have thought that MIGHTILY AWESOME was something the Americans love to see on their tellyboxes.
