Climate Change / Global Warming & Investing Implications

[sarals]

I think the reality is that there are very, very few corps. that will be moving any manufacturing to a state that will make them less competitive in the market place.

Although I'm sure there are many corporations that would put earning an extra buck over the quality of human life. The fact that CA's enconomy is so vibrant is proof that you can run a business and pay attention to the environment. And, as you mentioned, CA has the world's fifth largest enconomy.

As for the comparision with Texas, I have a feeling that the average Texan cares as much about his/her children and the quality of their air and environmet. And when they realize they've been sold down the road for an extra buck in some energy companies CEO's pocket, things will swing back towards more environmental protection laws and less letting the big energy companies run rampant and out of control.
