Yes, I have often wondered why California finds it necessary to not be content with the Federal EPA, but also have a state EPA with even More Restrictions. HHHmmmm......... But then there's the problem with their electricity; now they want power from Arizona, and we're telling them to go to (heck). Perhaps their new state motto should be; "If you build it, they will come." As in: Instead of flee, like I did after living there all my life. Kevin E.
