Living in California we are not short on left loons who want everyone to live in a tree, ride a bicycle, eat only the food we grow, have our pets spayed/neutered, and have all our energy derived from wind, solar and our trash. Yet, I can point to the windmill proposal off of Cape Cod as the first evidence that its the 'not in my backyard' response from Dems. You can research this issue on your own.
Fast forward to today, the much ballyhooed Diane Feinstein, senator from CA, today announced that she wants to have hundreds of thousands of acres in the CA desert reserved as a national monument. The land is between Ludlow and Needles. I have lived here for 8 years and have financed real estate all over the state and have never even heard of these two towns. Tells you how important it is to CA and its growth. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a speech last year at a Yale University climate-change conference: "If we cannot put solar power plants in the Mojave Desert, I don't know where the hell we can put it." So Feinstein wants to tell you in all other states that she is for renewable energy and so is CA but she just doesn't want that renewable energy (AND JOBS) here in her state. Why?
