I-SAN FRANCISCO (iReuters) - Umlawuli wendalo waseCalifornia unokuthengisa iimvume zokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwiifandesi zekota njengenxalenye yenkqubo ye-cap-and-trade yelizwe, inkundla yelizwe yathi ngoLwesine, ekubuyiseleni amashishini aphikisanayo ukuba intengiso ibandakanya irhafu engekho mthethweni. .
I-California Chamber of Commerce kunye ne-tomato processor Morning Star yamangalela ukuyeka ukuthengisa kunyaka odlulileyo, iphikisana ukuba iimvume kufuneka zinikezelwe ngokukhululekileyo kwiinkampani ezigutyungelwe yinkqubo.
Bathi iBhodi yeMithombo yoMoya yaseCalifornia (ARB) igqithise igunya layo xa ivuma iifandesi njengendlela yokuhambisa iimvume.
Bakwathi kufuneka ivoti yowiso-mthetho ukuze kuphunyezwe ezi fandesi, kuba ezingqondweni zabo yayiyirhafu entsha. Umthetho obalulekileyo waseCalifornia wokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo, AB 32, owapasiswa ngevoti yesininzi ngo-2006.
"Inkundla ayizifumani iingxoxo zaBakhalazi zikholisa," iJaji yeNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseCalifornia uTimothy M. Frawley wabhala kwisigqibo somhla we-12 kaNovemba kodwa sakhululwa esidlangalaleni ngoLwesine.
“Nangona i-AB 32 ingagunyazisi ngokucacileyo ukuthengiswa kwezibonelelo, igunyazisa ngokukodwa i-ARB ukuba yamkele inkqubo yorhwebo kunye 'nokuyila' inkqubo yokusasazwa kwezibonelelo ezikhutshwayo."
I-California ReLeaf kunye namaqabane ayo akholelwa ukuba i-cap kunye nengeniso yefandesi yorhwebo inokubonelela ngenkxaso-mali ebalulekileyo kumahlathi asezidolophini kunye nokukwazi kwabo ukuhlutha ikhabhoni kunye nokunceda ukuhlangabezana neenjongo zokuphunyezwa kwe-AB 32.
Iifandesi zezibonelelo ziluphawu oluqhelekileyo kwiinkqubo zekhabhoni-kunye-norhwebo kwenye indawo, kubandakanywa inkqubo yorhwebo ekhutshwayo yaseYurophu kunye neNyathelo leSithili seGesi yokuHlaza yoMmandla kumntla-mpuma.
Iingcali zendalo ezihambelana norhulumente basincomile esi sigwebo.
"Inkundla ithumele umqondiso oqinileyo namhlanje, iqinisekisa ngokupheleleyo inkqubo yokukhusela imozulu yaseCalifornia - kubandakanywa nezikhuselo ezibalulekileyo zokuqinisekisa ukuba abangcolisi banoxanduva lokukhupha izinto eziyingozi," watsho u-Erica Morehouse, igqwetha leNgxowa-mali yoKhuselo lokuSingqongileyo.
Kodwa u-Allan Zaremberg, umongameli kunye nomphathi oyintloko weChamber of Commerce yaseCalifornia, uthe akavumelani nezigqibo kwaye wabonisa ukuba isibheno siqinisekile ukuba siza kulandela.
“Ilungele ukuphononongwa kwaye iguqulwe yinkundla yezibheno,” utshilo.
