Just one of the liberal cancers on the people of Taxifornia.
When Jan 1 arrives and trucks do not deliver goods to California, then maybe someone over there will get the message.
Private haulers cannot afford these ‘retrofits’.
Larger trucking companies cannot retrofit a fleet all at once, either.
One large trucking company has already stated that they will no longer haul into California.
What about a U-Haul truck? You rent it in N Dakota to move to your new job in California (if you get one) and get stopped at the border because this truck doesn’t meet the regulations?????
The fools in Sacramento get dumber every day.
Dr.Telles is a good guy. I’ve known him for almost 25 years now. Went hunting with him and one of his 4 boys. If he said he didn’t know, he didn’t. He’s not a raving-nutter-enviro-wacko. I imagine he’s not too happy hearing about this stuff.
I forget what year it was but the CARB was trying, during that time, to impose emissions standards and regulation on outdoor power equipment (one of their more foolish and unworkable ideas).
The CLCA sent a lobbying contingent to Sacramento to try and educate the moron in the legislature why this was a really bad idea. While there, we were scheduled to meet with the head of CARB.
I forget here name, but the woman who stepped up to the podium looked like she came from central casting for “frumpy female Berkeley female studies professor”, (one step up in dress from a corner bag-lady) and wearing Birkinstocks and granny glasses to boot.
After several of the association members asked their questions (which went un-answered with rambling mutterings from the bag-lady), it was my turn. I needed some good articles for the next issue of the magazine.
Since MTBE was just breaking as the latest scandal the CARB was trying to duck, I asked why the CARB had approved a water-insoluble carcinogen as a fuel additive.
Her face blanched. She hurriedly checked her watch. Then she ran for the door as fast as her unshaved, Birkinstock-clad cankles could carry her—muttering over her shoulder about another meeting she had to rush off to.
CARB is the most discredited bunch of psuedo-science-quacks in the country, and have been for many years. Its run by activists with no scientific credentials or credibility. Nothing they say should ever be believed.
And, they refuse to be accountable for any of the problems they cause while on their mission to save the planet.
