Gay! Don’t make people who buy cars they like and enjoy instead of econoboxes feel self-conscious. If you care about the environment that much and you are in the market for a car then you can sit down in front of the pc and do some ****ing research like everyone else. Now when someone walks over to the Z06 or GT-R or whatever at their local dealers everyone else is going to label them as an asshole because “MY HONDA SCORES A 10!.” Economists can suck my ****, being green is not a competition it is a preference.

stupid!

Not a bad thing. If you don’t like the lable, just ignore it when you go to the showroom.

I laughed but these guys are freakin’ serious about their climate change BS. Those nutjobs have the potential to become REALLY dangerous…

Just another way for Californians to label us. Thanks, Hollywood.

…****in stupid…i moved here to Northern Cali 5 years ago from Chicago and i hate it. Really, this label is to ’show off’ how ‘green conscious, cool and caring’ a person is….it’ll give these hippies the right to look down on others. ****in stupid i swear…my blood pressure…

Well come to the Republic of KALIFORNIUH!

Hell yeah, California is the best state in the Union, economically, socially, and in terms of creating legislation through direct democracy. If California left the union, the US would most likely fall, because most of our taxes dollars go to support everyone but Californians.

Well thanks very much California because since our Premier in British Columbia has this man crush on Arnold I’ll bet you a dusty copy of Conan we’ll have the same thing faster than you can extend the middle digit and say ‘label this’.

Hmmm, I wonder if they’ll take into account such things as how and what the batteries of hybrids are manufactured from, and their impact on the environment when they are discarded…and the powerplant where electricity comes from. (when plugins hit the scene, that is.)

Frankly, the most “green” thing you can do is buy a late-model used car.

who cares/
@e36m
that’s People’s republic of Kanifornyuh

What? More information for the consumer to make an informed choice? Thats horrible!

Californians want clean, healthy to breath air? They must all be morons!

…and another thing, for a ****in place where ‘being yourself’ and be happy, free and all that bull****..the minute you have a cigarette and drive V8 your outcasted. if your not being ‘yourself’ on Northern Cali terms…but damn do they admire people with no jobs and living as a ‘free-spirit’. ****in hate these bums….

California is always the first to pave the way it seems… all the other states seem to follow. California was the first to see the Real Estate Bubble burst, and now this. We should all be more like California.

wonder where they’re going to put it on the car

This human-caused global warming scam is really getting out of hand. Why is nobody listening to the opposing side? The debate is NOT over because it never started. CNN actually had an online report that a rise in earthquake magnitudes was a result of man-made global warming(!). Newsbusters called them on it and they pulled the webpage along with the story.

I work in the environmental department of an engineering firm in Southern California. I write CEQA documents (CEQA is the California Environmental Quality Act). You should see the flaming hoops that projects have to jump through to get approved. They will soon be adding a Global Warming section to our documents. It is not yet mandated by the state, but the industry (being filled with more advocates that scientists) are stuffing their documents with all sort of “green” requirements already. And the developers are willing to pay to just get approved. I’ve been in more than one debate with some of the modern-day hippies at my work. I’ve been “admonished” by upper-management, compared to a holocaust-denier and even called the famous “flat earther”. These types of people RUN this industry and unfortunately encourage the sort of thing this LLN article is about. More conservatives need to get in to the environmental industry to bring some balance back to “science”.

If you don’t like what CA do to the USA….you should move to China or India to enjoy the pollutions. What a bunch of whiners.

Interesting perspective psiclone. The first thing to remember is that if a politician’s lips are moving, he’s lying. The second is the one mantra my father preached since my first job busing tables at 14: do your job and keep your mouth shut. In other words, more rebels have ended up busing tables in their 50s than working for the ‘good’ of the people.

guys guys guys…these arent decals on the car, its printed on the window sticker. So unless you drive around with the window sticker on your car the only person whos gunna know how much you pollute is your car salesman…..

The only reason all the other states adopt what laws California sets forth is so that we don’t ever offend Californians. In Nevada, we had to adopt the “no smoking in public places” law because our Californian tourists were getting upset. I also can’t get video players installed in the front passenger area of my car, not because it is illegal in Nevada, but because it is illegal in California. None of the local installers will do such work anymore.

And yet they are the first to pace you on the freeway. They are the first to drive slowly in the left lane and never move over. They are the reason my city has so many water conservation mandates so that they can drain our reservoir. It is illegal in my city to wash my car in my driveway. It used to be illegal to wash it between 11am and 7pm, but now it is illegal all the time. I cannot water my lawn unless the sun is down (which is smarter anyway). In the winter time, I am only allowed to water once a week, for a total of 15 minutes. If California were to secede from the USA, most of L.A. wouldn’t have any water.

Of course, there are other issues with our politicians, too, so I shouldn’t complain too much. My senators and representatives fight the famous nuclear repository that is planned for the middle of the frelling desert, hundreds of miles from anyone, and under a particular rock that absorbs nuclear radiation. They fight and fight, and most of us just don’t care if it’s there or not. These guys threw away billions of dollars to fix our highways and help our schools just so they could get re-elected and get more money for themselves. Because of this, our country hasn’t fully embraced nuclear energy, which would greatly reduce our dependancy on oil. That makes me mad.

So bring on the labels. We’ll be the next to have them, just in case a Californian wants to come up here a purchase a car from his or her gambling winnings. I’m also willing to bet all the sports cars and V8 Mustangs will be pulled off the spinning Jackpot displays and replaced with Priuses, Camry hybrids, Civic hybrids and Smart ForTwos by the end of the year.

You know what gets me? They affect us so much with their environmentalist crap, and yet we can’t get an Aptera here. That’s just not fair.

Anyway, enough of my rant. I really don’t hate all Californians, just the ones that pace me on the highway. That ticks me off.

My current smog score is about a 2. I feel so quilty that I’m killing the planet!!! Whaahhhh, whaaahhh

I am from East Coast, but I actually think that a lot of things started in California are good for the country in general. I don’t like Californians, especially in LA and some parts of SF, but emission control laws are adopted by good number of states. The conference of scientists last year concluded that current global warming is PROBABLY (not definitely) caused by human activity. I do realize that global climate changes occurred during history of earth: there was mini freeze from VII to XIV century and warming spells occur every 25-40 years.
The ironic part of all this that collection of Arnold in no way or form politically correct: he is the guy who convinced everybody that Hummers are needed on public roads not only on battlefields. Otherwise the whole exercise is harmless, maybe irritating for those who like to have a smoke and ride a V8. I can’t afford either.

I love gasoline. I love smelling it. I love burning it. I refuse to assign any guilt to that.

The earthquake that sinks california into the pacific ocean just can’t come soon enough now can it? Californians are the most FAKE people on the planet. My Road Runner isn’t even on this scale, and I’m damn proud of that. How do you hippies like the smell of Sunoco 110?

Oh yead, Sunoco 110 has LEAD in it also. Do you need directions to the emergency room?

That’s cool Hemi, I bet that 110 smells sweet.

I think the ironic part of California taking the lead in clean air nonsense is the wildfires that happen in California every summer emit as much CO, CO2, NOX and in the air for all the cars running around in the whole US.

Mary Nichols, like Schwarzenegger, is a global warming alarmist. There has been no proof that the variance in temperature is man made. Meteorologists cannot even get an average global temperature, and it is impossible to predict weather more than 4 days out. I am going to try to keep my blood pressure down, but this is absolutely asinine.

California SUCKS!

Economically? California has the highest home forclosures of any state, and second highest unemplyment rate next to Alaska.
How about the highest gas prices too.

Socially? California has the worst public education system it ranks in the high 30s in the states. California has the highest homosexual population, not to mention legalized gay marriages. The immigration policy is a joke, Mexicans are jumper the borders everyday, and will be the majority by 2015.

Tax dollars? The Midwest and East Coast pay the most due to the highest GDP states in America. If California left the Union, the only change there would be is less illegal immigrants, less homosexuals, and less nuthouse fake people.

^^^^^ Spoken like a true LLN Gangsta. Why is it everyone from crapifornia thinks their state is better than everywhere else. It’s such a $H!Thole it’s pathetic. Yeah, I would love living in a state where they tax everything you do, even breathing, the prisoners and immigrants have more rights than you, over 80% of the population under 40 years old is infected with an STD, highest taxes on EVERYTHING,. Come on earthquake………..

I think this is kinda cool actually, and definately necesarry in this day and age.

I still don’t get why people are so terrified of immigrants and homosexuals, when you should be really afraid of the dumb bitch teenyboppers texting on their cell phones and drinking Jamba Juice when they should be driving. Those stupid bitches and those bumble **** wanna be street racers get on my nerve for driving like brake and gas pedals are god dam on/off switch. And don’t get me started on those lard assed, wannabe MILF soccor moms, who think they need a big horrible handling trucks for there “supposed” safety and extra room, when their one window-licker child should die in auto wreck for being born to such a stupid whore.

Immigrants and homosexuals are the Parasites and the disease creators of America, were not terrified, were pissed off. How would you feel, if you had a child that got hit and killed by a drunk driver who was an illegal immigrant from Mexico? Or how about your hard earned tax dollars going to homsexuals for there GLADD rights convoy? What’s funny is how california wants to be so green when they are the most polluted state in America. LA has the most smog of any U.S city.

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST COMMENT EVER, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU GOT RAPED BY YOUR FAG DADDY?

We should all be like California, SO we should all have AIDS, homosexuals, high gas prices, high taxes, high unemployment, high home foreclosures, droughts, earthquakes, mudslides, wildfires, frequent blackouts? GET THE **** OFF LLN NOOB!

California is the first to pave the way? Not for automobiles. Automobiles started in MICHIGAN! There would be no LLN without MICHIGAN. All the cars and trucks are tested in MICHIGAN. First assembly line, Henry Ford, Dearborn, MICHIGAN! Where are all the big 3 headquarters and most auto assembly plants located? MICHIGAN! Where is the #1 auto company General Motors Founded and located? MICHIGAN! All the big Cereal companies located? MICHIGAN! All the hightech jobs and highly skilled auto workers? MICHIGAN! The pine lumber industry of MICHIGAN made more billions than the gold of California! I can go to the Upper Penisula of Michigan collect/mine some copper ad make more $ than you do in a whole year.

Sorry to bust your **** up murderedout but GM is not the #1 company any more

GM is still #1 you knothead, tell me who is then and don;t even say Toyota cause there not!

GM STILL # 1 http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080124/AUTO01/801240395
