Hilarious. Governor Schwarzenegger’s new environmental mandates will be at odds with the environmentalists:

People, not just politicians, pay a lot of lipservice to clean energy. Are they serious?
Take California’s three-year running battle over proposed new transmission lines to carry more renewable energy to the San Diego area. The route proposed by the utility, San Diego Gas & Electric, would go through a national park — which has sparked plenty of opposition by environmentalists and local residents.
Where do things stand? The environment seems to be trumping energy, according to the draft conclusions just published by the California Public Utility Commission. Far from endorsing SDG&E’s transmission plan, California officials say the “environmentally superior” alternative would be to build five new fossil-fuel power plants at “already disturbed sites”; SDG&E’s proposals are at the bottom of the commission’s list of eight viable alternatives.
That’s frustrating for the power company, which says the only way to comply with state requirements to build more renewable energy is to build new lines to carry the juice. It’s also frustrating for local businessmen, who say they’d like to see more power to keep their businesses running.
