California Moves to Regulate Cow Flatulence Apparently CA wants to destroy their dairy industry. How is a dairy farm going to reduce methane emissions 40%? We know totalitarianism is tightening like a garrote because virtually everything is regulated by the authorities, no matter how comically trivial — even including cow flatulence: California Gov. Jerry Brown kept up his assault on climate change Monday, pushing through a law meant to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions from dairy farms and landfills. … Brown’s approval of Senate Bill 1383 goes after short-lived climate pollutants, which include methane, black carbon, and HFC gases, per the AP. “Short-lived” means these so-called “climate pollutants” remain in the atmosphere only briefly. Yet we are asked to believe that they will melt ice caps or have some other catastrophic effect if bureaucrats don’t exploit them as a pretext to extend their power into every nook and cranny of existence. Per the bill, dairy farmers have to cut methane emissions to 40 percent below 2013 levels by 2030. Under a cap-and-trade plan, farmers will receive aid from the $50 million or so raised via polluter fees, which they can then put toward machinery that uses methane to create energy they can in turn sell to electric companies. If this made any sense economically, the government would not have to put a gun to people’s heads and force them to do it. That’s why capitalism works and tyranny does not. The state’s Air Resources Board can also now regulate bovine flatulence, as long as there are practical ways to reduce the cows’ belching and breaking wind. ............ http://moonbattery.com/?p=76363
