A Massachusetts state senator has introduced a bill that would create a government commission tasked with coming up with ways to reduce the number of miles that residents drive in their personal vehicles to bring the Commonwealth into compliance with the Net Zero carbon mandate, a draconian scheme that advocates insist is necessary to stave off the coming global warming apocalypse.
82-year-old Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Creem who chairs the Massachusetts Senate Committee on Climate Change & Global Warming has filed Bill S.2246, titled “An Act Aligning The Commonwealth’s Transportation Plans With Its Mandates and Goals For Reducing Emissions and Vehicle Miles Traveled” that would require the state MassDOT to “set goals for reducing the number of statewide driving miles.”
The legislation establishes “an interagency coordinating council” that would be responsible for setting fines and penalties to enforce compliance with drivers who will be forced into using public transportation or riding bicycles to limit the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment. Creem’s legislation is modeled after laws and regulations in Colorado and Minnesota, two states that are under the control of far-left Democrats who worship at the altar of the climate cult.
According to a summary, “the bill would establish an interagency coordinating council—similar to the existing coordinating council for EV charging infrastructure—to come up with a whole-of-government plan to reduce vehicle miles traveled and increase access to transportation options other than personal vehicles. The legislation would ensure that Massachusetts stays on track to reduce emissions from transportation, the sector that accounts for the greatest share of emissions in the Commonwealth.”

If anything, this trend is expanding, not shrinking. With Trump able to reduce fuel prices, I expect on-line shopping and cheap deliveries will grow more.
While China & India are building one new coal fired power plant EVERY WEEK for cheap power, while Western countries are forcing businesses to use more expensive green energy. How stupid is that!
