AB32 and Prop23 discussion on KVMR

George Rebane

This coming Wednesday from 6:20 to 7:00 pm KVMR-FM 89.5 will hold a moderated discussion of AB32, the attempt to suspend the remainder of the law through the passage of Proposition 23, and the relevance of the whole effort to us in Nevada County.  AB32 is also known as California’s ‘Global Warming Solutions Act’, ‘cap and trade’ law, ‘greenhouse gases act’, … .  This live program will be moderated by KVMR’s News Director Paul Emery.  The discussants will be Steven Frisch, President of the Sierra Business Council, and yours truly.

A more than thorough background on AB32/P23 can be found on these pages and on NC Media Watch (use keywords ‘AB32’ and ‘Proposition 23’ in the blogs’ search boxes).  Both Paul and Steve are RR readers and well-armed critics of the socio-political worldview I espouse, and my subsequent commentaries on happenings here, there, and everywhere.  Regular readers will correctly anticipate that Mr Frisch will continue his opposition to Prop23 and for the complete implementation of AB32, as will I continue my opposition to AB32 and for its suspension through passage of Prop23.

It should be an interesting exchange of point counter-point as Paul (who promises to be neutral) takes us through the hot-button factors that define this internationally followed energy and economy management legislation in which we find California again taking the ‘lead’.  KVMR welcomes pre-emailed questions from those planning to listen.  Paul asks that you kindly email them to [email protected] .  It would probably help the folks at the station if you use some pithy title like ‘AB32/P23 fracas’.

Thanks George. I'm really looking forward to the show. A couple of notes. This is a discussion not a debate so please address you're questions to both guests. Like all good discussions I look forward to discovering what we can agree on, although disagreement is often more entertaining.

Hooray!

George,

I have posted a link to your post. The more people we have listening the better. Since I am part of the Sac Bee Connect, we might even get some Sacramento listeners. Alexa recently noted that I have significant traffic from the Sacramento region.

Although I disagree with Paul in alot of cases I did listen to your last interview and thought he was quite good. I will also try and get in earlier than I did last time and I presume he will be as good this time as well, this time as a moderator but you did great last time elicting discussion with George.

Look at that Paul getting coverage all the way to Fla
