redundant move
The EPA needs to be disbanded. Environmental issues should be left up to the individual states.
Reverse it on day one.
Slap it out of their hands and shove bamboo sticks under their fingernails.
They should let them go forward with it so everyone gets a taste of how stupid trying too do all EVs would be. Why?
o There isn’t enough electrical generation to support it.
o If there were, there isn’t enough transmissions and distribution grid to get the power where it needs to be.
o There isn’t enough mining and materials processing to make all the batteries and conductors necessary for the whole scheme.
But other than the above, it’s a GREAT idea!
Executive Order on day 1.
I’d say that Trump’s possible action coupled with the USSC’s ruling on the Chevron Doctrine is justification enough to throttle this massive overstep of authority by the EPA.
Or, simply, we take the Democrat line of “how are you going to pay for that cut? Where is it in the ruling that California has the needed capacity of electricity for EVs to take over the fossil fuel vehicle dump? What other forms of transportation capacity will California have to take over?”
Do not revoke it!
Promise to vigorously support the California ban.
Compel California politicians to revoke it, or to extend it, again and again...
Make the Democrats eat humble pie EVERY time an opportunity presents itself!
It will be fascinating to see how the citizens of California react to the increased brownouts, due to more electrical consumption. Will they elect more conservatives when they realize they must reverse this idiotic decision themselves. Or is Governor Harris and more uncompleted bullet trains their destiny?
Mr President,
DO NOT REVOKE ANYTHING, Embrace this new law in California and the 12 States that are bound by their own legislatures to follow suit. They are saving the planet, don’t ya know??
SHOW THEM YOU CARE by issuning an Executive Order to Bolster their endeavor.:
Any State that has a law, or policy of banning ICE powered Vehicles, SHALL NOT receive any Traqnsportation Funding of any kind unless and until 100% of the Public Employee’s in that State exclusively use an EV for ALL Travel and are PROHIBITED from Using, Owning or Possessing ANY ICE powered vehicle of any kind.
SHOW THEM YOU CARE, GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT.
The Mafia used to use the term “Straighten Out” because some guys needed to be Straightened out. Trump is gonna straighten out some people......the EPA, Newsome, etc. The boss is coming...
State’s rights trump most of the crap coming from FedGov these days. The commerce clause was never intended to give FedGov absolute power over the states.
So Trump should let these misguided states ban ICE power in favor of EVs. Let these states tax their own citizens for the massive expense needed to build the needed infrastructure.
And on the other hand, sane states should not sell power to CA etc. Let these EV-only states get what they voted for ... good a hard.
The statute needs to prohibit such bans, lest a Democrat president try again to reinstate them.
I am rather anti-EV, but this idea for California might not be a bad thing. They would get a close-up look at the problems it would likely cause. Just don’t use this thinking for the rest of the nation. Let it be California’s mistake.
