Hawaii imports gasoline refined elsewhere, why can’t California?
California already imports much of its electric power from other states, only a very small step to import gasoline.
But go ahead, soon California shall have neither electricity nor gasoline at competitive prices to power any kind of personal or even heavy transportation.
California SHOULD be producing 100% of both motor fuel and electrical power for their internal needs, within their own borders, and EXPORTING it to other states. They certainly have the resources and need to do this.
“when will Californians get tired of “Newscum winning”?”
The factual question is... Since all this from Ca really does affect us all Nationally when are WE going to get tired of Newscum winning?
“Wood Gassifiers.
Good luck with that though.
Bio diesel from fry oil is an option for diesel.
Get an old Carbureted Jeep and convert to propane hybrid, run off forklift cansisters”
Here is the tech on these:
Wood Gasifiers do work, but you better have copper reusable head gaskets and intake gaskets. Because you will be tearing it down and scraping the carbon from off the head and pistons every 500 miles.
Propane can be introduced to ANY engine including fuel injected engines and Diesels if done correctly. Actually pretty easily...
And here is the kicker... We have had this technology for almost a hundred years. Train locomotives have been using this same hybrid system for almost a hundred years. A small 50 Hp diesel engine would put out the same torque to the wheels as a modern pickup engine, around 250 ft lbs. In locomotives a 2,000 Hp Diesel engine produces 10,000 ft lbs of torque to the trucks {Electric Drive Motors). A 50 hp diesel engine would get about 60-70 miles to the gallon hauling a pickup truck load of weight. a light passenger car would only need a 25 hp system and get 100 miles to the gallon. It is a win win for everyone...
But the electric car “battery” corporations, the environmentalists, and big oil just will not let it happen...
It’s already very high. We’re paying about double what most other parts of the country are paying. Taxed to death. Literally. So many taxes and regulations they killed off the refineries.
Could????
Yes, Or we will not get ANY AT ALL PERIOD. That is to the Phoenix rack. But that doesn’t help the northern rack in Vegas....
This is not good at all for Az. In fact it will harm Az and Nv more that it will Ca.
Trump needs to step in here and declare an federal Interstate Commerce Emergency and stop this.
That means diesel will be over $9 per gal. Truckers will be in a tight spot.
That’s why you get an old Mercedes or old diesel truck.
You can get additives to keep it liquid at low temps.
“ARE YOU A BOT? YOU NEVER REPLY”
I think you’re right. It never replies, only posts. Perhaps a ChiComm bot account. Calling Viking kitties.
Enjoy the suck californicates.
This doesn’t effect any state except California.
Fuel for az,nv, and nm come from states other than California, where is based upon the current pump price at those locations.
The big concern should be that every military base in California gets its fuel from California.
Sign on a gas pump at a Chevron station in Carson City: "You pay more for gas because of California policies."
Due to the refineries of California supplying fuel to the airlines, trains, ships and most importantly all the military bases, it would be very easy to consider it a National emergency for trade and defense.
Exemption of California emissions and fuel recipes could be done also, but would require long term protection for ANY company to be willing to stay operational....
The bad part is it is going to affect AZ, NV, OR and WA
I have lived in California all my life.
Yet, apparently most CA voters have not had enough pain to vote
Democrats out.
