"Instead the demand from the left is for a radically rapid de-carbonization, which will reduce jobs in the Heartland and lower living standards everywhere. In California, Jerry Brown is fretting about ways to curb cow flatulence, an obsession that is unlikely to be popular in Kansas, Nebraska or Iowa."

2 different policies, coastal states vs heartland states are at play.

Not taking sides, but when we have the two sides play brinksmanship and "what's best for me" instead of try to feach a rational compromise, this is what you get. Extremism and last minute, poorly thought out laws. That was very true with Obamacare--little if any honest discussion on either side. And there are many others.

Both parties have forgotten their obligation to govern, and now think the objective is to "win". Sad.
