The worst of the lot are those horrid people who want to drill for oil. Don't they know it only encourages people to drive their cars, vans, SUV's, motorcycles or use lawn mowers, snow throwers, and all those other terrible machines. These people want to drill offshore, too, because there's lots of oil there. Other people use energy to run their computers. A whole bunch of them work in California's Silicon Valley just thinking up new ways to use computers and bandwidths and such.
People are bad.
If it weren't for people California would be an Eden, a paradise, no highways, and just a small bunch of Greens could wander its forests, deserts, and shores, enjoying it as only they can. One of them lived in a big, old redwood for a year. The scheme they hit upon was to insure there would not be enough power generation and water utilities. Without that, they reasoned, people would be discouraged from moving to there. California is home to 34 million people who need and want power, houses, schools, hospitals, universities, office facilities, hotels, theme parks, wineries, warehouses, and every other structure necessary for a modern society to function.
