Correct me if I am wrong. This idiot wants all farmers to stop using diesel and start using elect.
Where does he think elect comes from. Power plants, mostly coal fired, and where do they get the coal?
Mines of course, mined by diesel powered equiptment, moved from the mine to the power plant by diesel locomotives.

Amazing aint it

And what this reporterette doesn't mention (conveniently) is that many of the diesel engines are on standby for when the ELECTRICITY goes down. With all the Blackouts in the last 3 years, someone is using crack to even propose this mess.
I am willing to put a 5 spot on the fact that the same Dems in the Calif Legislation won't vote for any new electric plants.
More BS to drive farmers out of business.
If you don't like being held hostage to the middle east for your oil, wait until you are being held hostage to South and Central America for your FOOD. GET OFF THE FARMERS BACKS.
