I DO of course welcome ANY pledge and following THAT PLEDGE , any ACTION from Pol. LeaderS from ANY Political Party, but to me, Recall-"Elected" Calif. Gov. SCHWARTZENAGGER's "Bold" 45 YEARS Plan, for "80% Cut in emissions, by 2050AD"(Some of this "emissions cut," WILL no doubt happen in the intervening yearS, with OIL-Fossil Fuels' petering-OUT as a WORKABLE Resource) which THIS Date will be lONG AFTER the Gov. has HIMSELF, left OFFICE as Governor, correct?
