San Francisco vs. Beer

Heh.

The scientifically-inclined Random10 asks a very good question:

How can beer get cold if carbon dioxide traps heat?

This may become a serious problem for the tavern-keepers of San Francisco.

As energy prices soar and the economy stalls, San Francisco bureaucrats provide their solution. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District's board of directors voted 15-1 to impose fees on businesses that emit carbon dioxide.

Any bar which pours a tap beer, or opens a bottle of same, will (by definition) "emit" carbon dioxide.

Obviously, SanFran needs a Tavern League.
