Absolute reckless insanity Californians endure. Gov encourages millions of illegal immigrants into the state, contributing to overcrowding, congested highways and the water shortage. Now they want to levy Huge fuel taxes on petrol in order to meet an arbitrary mandate goal to reduce fuel consumption 50% by within 15 years. SB 350 is being railroaded in without public debate and input. Agenda 21 in full swing. Love CA's mts & shore, but detest it's politics.

Jerry won’t be here in 2030, or not very much here. I think he’s 78, now. Crazy old coot—burn the bridge behind you, without one going forward.

2 ways to reach that goal:

1. Immediate crash building of dozens of nuclear power plants, coupled with the outlawing of the sale of all gasoline and diesel vehicles and allow electric vehicle sales only.

2. Reduce the population of California by half.

LOL at this =- “could be devastating”.

Part of the problem with California is high housing costs.

There’s some old jokes about California and housing.

One joke is that you can have a great job, earning $100,000 a year, and you still can’t afford a house.

The other is that in the LA area, you keep driving to housing developments further and further away, until you get to an exit where the housing prices are cheaper where you can afford a house.

The point is, sorry to ramble, but land use policies and restrictive zoning ,and supply and demand, cause greatly increased use of gasoline, because so many people end up living so far from work. I bet Jerry Brown didn’t take any of this into account as he decrees that we should reduce gasoline consumption by 50% in 15 years.

Why not combine this with a CO2 reduction?

He should sign an order requiring the population to breath half as much.

Does Jerry Brown take anything into account when he proposes any of his hare brained ideas?

My thought exactly. Easy to destroy your state when you aren’t going to have to live with the consequences. Californians had better wake up and move away as soon as they can and don’t go to Washington for goodness sake as they are going to do the same thing.

I live in Glendale, California.

Our town has a stop sign or stop light on just about every corner. I’ll bet it’s over 98%.

In neighborhoods, that isn’t good enough. They put speed bumps in the roadway.

This town is geared to be completely anti-vehicle.

When do you use the most gas? That’s right, when you go from stop to safe operating speed. What is the net result of stopping at every corner, or having to slow down even in the middle of blocks for speed bumps. That’s right.

This situation increases gas consumption by a factor of three or more.

It’s a real hoot getting a bill from the power company telling us how to save energy, when the town policy is to triple the energy consumption for vehicles.

He’s desperate to figure out ways to get people to ride his high-speed train.

The Air Resources Board knows how to reduce consumption.

They will just keep charging higher prices for Greenhouse Credits, thus swelling Government coffers (Brown's goal) and forcing everyone to public transportation...yet to be built.

Like the Bullet Train to Nowhere.

Some of us were born and raised here. We will stand and fight.

True enough. but in 15 years there will be no mandates-the Mexicans will ignore or get rid of them.

California will continue to resemble a Third World country in many ways.
