On top of the Job Killing Cap and Trade Bill the feds are working on, how many of you knew that Doyle has his own job killing global warming bill?
That's right, Doyle and the Democrats don't think Obama and the EPA are doing enough. He's got his own brand of lunacy.
Here's a few details:
It will be illegal to sell a radio with an illuminated clock that draws more than 4 watts of electricity.
It will be illegal to sell a television set that draws more than 3 watts on standby.
Cars with low emissions will receive preferred parking on Wisconsin streets and in local government lots under a model-ordinance developed by state officials. So the State will buy electric cars with you tax money, pat themselves on the back, and get the primo parking spots all over the State.
In 20 years, no new home or commercial building should draw power from the electric grid, but should generate its own from renewable sources.
State government officials (DNR) will track whether private residences and facilities are using only the amount of energy they generate on-site. Think a machine shop can run welders and lathes on windmill and solar panel power? How about a new manufacturing plant? Why would anyone build a new business with these ridiculous new rules?
A “Climate Change Coordinating Council” will create global warming “training programs” for students and teachers from kindergarten through graduate school. In other words, government officials can use the education system to scare people, from small children to young adults, into doing what government wants, using global warming as the pretext.
Wisconsin will adopt the restrictive California vehicle emissions standards, piling new expense on the purchase of a car in this state. At least $1000
It will be illegal to allow a diesel engine to idle for more than five minutes unless it's below 10 degrees.
On top of all that, this bill greatly increases the size and scope of the DNR. That's right, the agency that can't even count deer is going to control and regulate global temperatures via fees, taxes and mandates. So the only jobs I see being created, as Doyle touts, are in the DNR.
Imagine being up north on a snowmobile ride. You and your pals stop at a local pub for a soda and burger. After a while, you go outside, start you sleds and talk about where to go next or whatever. Your friendly DNR agent will be watching to make sure you aren't idling more than 5 minutes. If you do, you get a fine. Same thing in the summer with your boat.
Here's a letter from job producers to government job killers denouncing the bill.

I have a copy of this bill and I'll be bringing more info forward. If I can stand to type between puking.
