Eric Barger Disclaimer: This video, by two EPA insiders, exposes the insidious nature of the proposed Cap and Trade legislation now being proposed in the US Congress. They however are believers in Global Warming. I (and literally thousands of scientists and climatologists as I document on my website) do not hold to the theory that the earth is warming due to manmade carbon emissions (anthropogenic global warming), Still, I believe this video includes some valuable insights.

New laws have been passed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to create coordinated water management programs including storm water runoff in California. State agencies are currently developing regulations to be adopted in 2010 which will create fees on water use, greenhouse gases, and fees to fund administrative costs. The Alliance for Successful Communities hosted a presentation that included the goals of the new law and how they would be implemented and specifically addressed how community associations will be affected.
