The environmental zealots own the West Coast.
Anything “Big Green” wants Big Green gets.
The urban, white college educated, feminist women, gays, and minority grievance groups, that have political control over the West Coast are suckers & losers.
Apparently the American Capitalist who run the Technology and Financial Sectors like the status quo because they fund this crap.
These commies are hell bent on destroying everything.
So is it safe to assume that California will forgo using any and all petroleum products? 👎🏻💛
I call it “weather change” because they have always wanted to tax tomorrow’s weather.
The chances are zero. Neither will they give up their beachfront homes in Malibu. This is pure pandering to wealthy doofus hipsters, living mostly in costal enclaves, who can easily afford, or are unaffected, by the consequences of the crackpot policies that they espouse.
California is loaded with oil and these wackos deny it to themselves and the nation.
Leftists are dangerous lunatics.
They are likely worried that Fracking might transform potentially disastrous
earthquakes into numerous much smaller harmless tremors.
That could cut into Federal Disaster Money graft.
Mandatory Vaccination for forrest fire fighters next?
“California is loaded with oil and these wackos deny it to themselves and the nation.
Leftists are dangerous lunatics.”
Exactly.
None of these kooks should be going into environmental studies, unless they’ve watched 1000 hours of “How its Made” and submitted a report on how they would do it differently.
If their fantasy world doesn’t measure up to reality from industry experts, they get to pursue a degree in something more in tune with skill set.
P.S. Cool name BTW. You’ve been on this site longer & now I know why I’m unclebankster and not Williams.(My surname)
Enjoy your heatless winters, you all!
91 to 99. I couldn’t get out earlier.
Let that rotten state fail, God save the believers.
No money from other states! To hell with the Communists! You have to kill all communist to rid the threat...I mean all, AOC-P and EiGio’s included.
Music has sucked since
They should have to pay the owners of the land the value of the mineral rights....like taking land for a road
$5 gas?
There is a better way
Exxon et al must grant California’s greatest wish and cease selling gasoline and diesel fuel within the state. California free from the evils of oil is the dream
The sellers should fulfill that dream and with hold the products from California
The vast bulk of American pop music is a toxic dumpster fire.
Many places OVER $6.
However:
California==10% of the USA population & is over 800 miles long.
Also==90% of the stupidity...it will hit them hard.
