Mayor in Copenhagen

The mayor of Los Angeles is going abroad to go green—he joins us from the Global Climate Summit in Copenhagen to talk about his vision for a greener LA.

He joins Patt to talk about going green, starting with the city level, and then we move to the state level.

Guests:

These guys LOVE free travel and hob-knobbing . Just look at stock ticker PEIX this is an established company that owns 3 plants to distill ethanol and they had to shut down 2 plants because they couldn't get a credit extension, this is IN CALIFORNIA so I am sorry it's all B.S. people lost "green" jobs at this established company, even after the "stimulus" how many hundreds of other examples like this exist? Hey it all sounds good in talk, rhetoric baby, save electricity, install "smart meters" but develop electric cars , go figure. Guillateie!!!!

One big difference between "Attache Antonio" and "Traveling Sam" Yorty -- Sam went out to drum up business for LA. Meijo Pendejo Antonio gives LA City contracts to companies in foreign nations.

Remember, fly fishing, the sport that makes one feel "practically" WASP, is a very expensive hobby.
