The John Locke Foundation’s Daren Bakst says a lot of bad public policy is coming our way courtesy of the Climate Action Plan Advisory Group:
This group (Climate Action Plan Advisory Group, or CAPAG) recommended 56 policy proposals that touch upon almost every facet of life, from what cars we drive to what is taught in schools.
A special legislative commission is reviewing the options and will decide which ones to recommend to the full legislature by April 1, 2008.
If you think the 56 options aren’t going to become law, be aware that some of the recommended options already became
law last legislative session, including extra charges on electricity use.
The exploits of CAPAG have been followed since its inception by several JLF folks, including VP for Research Roy Cordato and Carolina Journal Associate Editor Paul Chesser. The JLF’s EnvironmentNC.com blog is also a good place to keep up on the latest news on the climate-change front.
