Climate change pact signed by California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia

Climate Change Pact?  This is more like a suicide pact!  What utter incompetence and stupidity.  I am amazed at the complete idiocy of the people of these states/provinces.

Each state and the Canadian province promised to take roughly a dozen actions, including streamlining permits for solar and wind projects, better integrating the electric power grid, supporting more research on ocean acidification and expanding government purchases of electric vehicles.

"You are witnessing a historic small-but-powerful first step," California Gov. Jerry Brown said during the event, held at Cisco's San Francisco campus.

So, streamlining permits for wind probably means they will continue to ignore the endangered birds that are getting their heads chopped off from the turbine blades.
