Grandstanding is so much easier than achieving results. This explains why politicians pander to global warming emotions with nonsensical proposals, including Colorado Senate Bill 200.
On the surface, this bill is hard to dislike. Sponsors call it the Reduce Greenhouse Gasses Increase Environmental Justice act.
Amen! Greenhouse gas = bad. Environmental justice = good. No one wants Earth to become a sweltering greenhouse with melting ice and distressed polar bears.
Sadly, this is another deceptive bill the sponsors promote to sound as if they care. Despite the warm-fuzzies title, SB 200 proposes authoritarian control by the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission to regulate nearly anything that generates greenhouse gas. It would force the commission to prioritize the social cost of pollution and promote environmental justice. It is the essence of centralized, top-down control cloaked in a good cause.
