This California town wants to reverse its woke policy on new and expanded gas stations so it can attract a Costco store, lawmakers signaled last week.
Windsor in Sonoma County passed the law in 2022 to fight climate change, but as a repercussion, it also stymies cheaper-gas retailers like Costco from setting up there.
The move comes as Costco furiously expands across the US and California. A new Costco in the Windsor area would be the third in Sonoma County. Lawmakers want to make it happen.

Hoist upon their own petard.
Good, liberals should suffer and pay for their crap they force on others.
ROFL. Are people complaining? If so they can STFU and lie in the bed they made. After all this is what they voted for!
They’re cherished environmental ethics are accurately priced at twenty cents per gallon
Yeah. Good idea so you can pay $7.30 a gallon instead of $7.60 in CA.
So Demscum in CA won’t let a Costco open while Demscum in NYC are upset a Walgreens is closing. See https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4379579/posts There simply is no pleasing Demscum.
Idiots. As if blocking or building gas stations will make a particle of difference to the world’s climate. These people are too stupid to have electricity or operate automobiles.
LOL...what, exactly, did they think would happen when they passed their law in 2022 to fight climate change? That all vehicles would magically transform to EVs and get the equivalent of 200 mpg?
These idiots just don’t get cause-and-effect. Ever. Who could possibly have foreseen what would happen when they raised the felony level for shoplifting to $950 and when they “defunded” police?
The shopping center in Windsor has a HD and a Walmart. It’s 10 miles north from the Costco in Santa Rosa. I wouldn’t fight city hall over that. Let them eat gas.
Most are narcissists, and that’s how most of those are - you cannot make them happy, you can never do anything right even if you do it the exact way they would, etc.
Tough nuts.
I hope Costco tells them to go to hell
