Governor Moonbeam uses vast amounts of fossil fuels himself, not too mention the vast amounts used by the state of Climafornia and its counties and cities. And, the huge number of people who flew and drove to San Fran for the big climate conference
Gov. Brown’s new climate goal: less than zero global warming emissions
Gov. Jerry Brown has repeatedly ratcheted up California’s global warming goals, setting ever-higher targets for the use of renewable power and demanding deeper cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
But on Monday, Brown announced a climate goal so ambitious that many experts don’t know how to reach it.
As diplomats descended on San Francisco for a global climate conference, Brown signed an executive order calling for the state to slash its overall emissions to zero by 2045 and then go negative. Starting in 2046, California would pull more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, year-by-year, than it put in.
Good luck with this, Moonbeam, as California’s economy is destroyed, because the means to pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere mostly do not exist. Those few methods that do are beyond expensive, barely work, and are for tiny implementation.
Miller said, however, that setting a goal of going carbon negative could spur a serious discussion of how to get there.
So, more unicorn dust.

Maybe he thinks that if they sell enough carbon credit certificates of face value greater than the total emissions of the state, that the net emissions will be below zero. Yeah, that’s it. It’s like printing clean air while making a lot of money for the state. Moonbeam has a beautiful mind
