HAS GOING GREEN GOTTEN TOO COSTLY FOR CALIFORNIANS?

NEVADA CITY, California, USA. Its not always easy to protect the environment when times are rough...That has spurred a debate in California which revolves around a simple question: "How expsensive is it to go green?"
-On the one hand there those like the Pasadena City officials who are greening their city because they say that doing so actually helps save money. For example theyve invested tens of thousands of dollars in solar trash compactors because of the fuel and labor savings they will generate.
-On the other hand, some like the Assemblyman Dan Logue with the help of California State University professors argue that forcing businesses to go green will hurt them financially when they are already stuggling in an ailing economy.
