Silicon Valley manufacturers must reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The new rules would cover 85 plants, mostly in Silicon Valley. They require most computer chip makers to slash releases of sulfur hexafluoride and other fluorinated gases by more than half over the next three years.
The fluorinated gases are 6,500 to 23,900 times more potent than carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas emitted by automobiles, power plants and refineries, among other sources. A single pound of sulfur hexafluoride has the same heat-trapping potential as 10 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or an automobile trip around the Earth.

Does anyone here know if this is accurate? Since this info comes from CARB I’m deeply suspicious.

“The financial impact is going to be severe,” Gus Ballis, a spokesman for chip maker NEC Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of NEC Electronics Corp. in Japan, told the board.
“We’re potentially on the chopping block — whether they are going to keep us or pull our production back to Japan.”

California, doing what it does best.
