IOW, the left has it planned out already.

When they *warn* you of some sort of disaster like this, count on them creating it.

Just have to train the californicate people to turn off their AC and go stand under a windmill to get some breeze. They might get hit in the head with a chopped up bird but that is a small price to pay for going green.

Good. This will be a test run for their future.

“the Citing the urgency of climate change, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has issued Executive Order N-79-20 to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and “more quickly move toward our low-carbon, sustainable and resilient future.”
The Order sets 2035 for a 100 percent ban on the sale of internal combustion engines for passenger cars and pickup trucks within California, with later target dates for similar bans on medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and off-road vehicles and equipment.
The Order next focuses on fossil fuel extraction and refining activities in the state, directing that no hydraulic fracturing permits be issued after 2024 and that state agencies “expedite regulatory processes to repurpose and transition upstream and downstream oil production facilities,” and also “manage and expedite the responsible closure and remediation of former oil extraction sites.”
Citing the urgency of climate change, California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-79-20 on Sept. 23, 2020, to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and “more quickly move toward our low-carbon, sustainable and resilient future.”
Key Provisions

The Order sets 2035 for a 100 percent ban on the sale of internal combustion engines for passenger cars and pickup trucks within California, with later target dates for similar bans on the sale of internal combustion engine medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and off-road vehicles and equipment. Used internal combustion engine vehicles may still be sold. The Order supports “zero emissions technologies” such as electric vehicles, and accelerated deployment of affordable fueling and charging options for zero-emission vehicles, particularly in low-income and disadvantaged communities.
The Order next focuses on fossil fuel extraction and refining activities in the state, directing that no hydraulic fracturing permits be issued after 2024 and that state agencies “expedite regulatory processes to repurpose and transition upstream and downstream oil production facilities,” and also “manage and expedite the responsible closure and remediation of former oil extraction sites.” The Order further directs agencies to assure appropriate decommissioning and remediation activities, and to impose financial bonding requirements to cover anticipated costs. The Order does not impose a deadline for ceasing operations or removing upstream and downstream oil production activities”

Talk to a communist. They blame California’s woes on deregulation.

Wouldn’t a fan do? Never mind you need electricity for that, unless you use one of those hand-hold fans, that women used several hundred years ago?

Thankfully, our Governor has addressed this concern head-on, decisively issuing an Executive Order mandating that all vehicles sold in the state be electric-powered by the year 2035. We have a special kind of leadership here in the Golden State...

What’re you going to do with electric vehicles in an energy shortage.

Agreed. In most parts, I am behind enemy lines. And the “regulations” mount year after year, as the attack continues.

Most people will then be riding public transportation, so electrical usage will be down.

Right??
