Since the bill has a market-based program, it will work efficiently and effectively for businesses.”GREAT stuff.  by Erin Swanson <a href="mailto:ESwanson@enviance.com">ESwanson@enviance.com</a> 9 application/xml false greenhouse gas greenhouse gas emissions PG&E Officials Reach California Deal to Cut Emissions NY Times article on Global Warming Solutions Act http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/31/washington/31warming.html?pagewanted=2 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 jwuebben 74.202.198.130 false true false false true 205814 false false true false false false true 107530 blog blogsite/Enviance/web
