Are you running out of natural gas or electricity?
Are the prices of those two extremely high?
Nope, and Nope.
Gasoline is different and crude oil is as well, but hardly an energy crisis like back with Davis vs Enron.

I'd like you to go on with some factumacations behind it.
I don't agree with everything he's doing but he was brought in to fix the **** hole budget davis helped us in to. We honestly won't know how well he's done for a while. I can say that my pg&e bill is less than half of what it was when dear old davis was in office.
people like to hate on arni because its easy to do. Yes he's cut places I wish he wouldn't but once the budget is balanced things will go the other way. Same thing you'd have to do with your personal budget. Have to cut everywhere until you find the leak. Repair the leak. Get balanced then make educated choices on where funds go.

Regarding the debate here: yes, this proposal sounds stupid. But as a cyclist (for commuting and sport) I can say that you can't hear hybrids (in electric mode) or electric cars coming up behind you on the road. Yes, I always look before turning, etc, but if a 2 ton vehicle is sharing the road with pedestrians and cyclists, logic says that it needs to be audible.

i didnt think they were that quite.BUT, its life get used to it. we are still going to die no matter what. so stop trying to make the economy better you are just ****ing it up by trying to make it better. I'm used to the exhaust fumes and so are other millions of people.
