Schwarzenegger Blasts Oil Companies
With Prop. 23 Looming, Governor Defends Climate Law

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is blasting the oil companies that are trying to undermine California's global warming law, saying they are motivated purely by greed.

He told the Commonwealth Club during a speech Monday in Santa Clara that Valero, Tesoro, Koch Industries and others are spending millions of dollars to manipulate the will of Californians.

Their motivation, he said, is "self-serving greed."

Out-of-state oil companies are sponsoring Proposition 23 on the Nov. 2 ballot. If approved, it would indefinitely suspend California's 2006 law that calls for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

1. Every once in a while he gets it right.
Doesn't matter much in the face of all the wrong, though. :(
