It truly is becoming a textbook third world country. A small, rich ruling class and a sea of poor people that can’t afford a house.
Mexico is building port facilities south of border. Originally they were to compete with the outrageous personnel costs in ca.
Vote Democratic and die - and be replaced by a Central American.
I’m waiting for the first California idiot legislator to want to require all trains be powered by EV locomotives.
It’s a truck, no one said it needed much room for cargo.
I wonder how easy it will be to put out a truck fire?.
The cities have been slowly killing off agriculture in the Central and Imperial Valleys for 75 years now - This is the $$$ engine that powers CA, not Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Inexpensive water resources are tapped out or wasted frivolously.
My opinions….
Most locomotives do use electric motors.
this wont increase the price of nearly everything in California will it?
LMAO
you idiots voted for this, enjoy the suck.
The Greens want a good part of our electricity to come from off shore wind platforms. To built those platforms one needs a lot of steel, a lot. They also want to shut down all coal mines at once. Unless I am mistaken, coal is needed to produce steel. No coal, no steel, no off-shore wind platforms.
“From 2025, the state would bar trucks powered by internal combustion engines”
That’s not what the article says. The article says
“From 2025, the state would bar trucks powered by internal combustion engines that have more than 800,000 miles ...”
But they have diesel generators to run them. They use the electric motors because of the low-end torque, IIRC. For a locomotive to be EV, the battery pack would have to be multiple railroad cars worth. Who knows how many..
All the western states and other eastern ones too, I believe there’s 14 of them including Virginia, belong to an energy coalition that follows Kalifornia’s lead. Washington, Oregon, Virginia have announced they are going along with banning ICE new vehicles that same year.
Virginia has since intimated they are contemplating quitting the suicide pact, but Washington’s dumbest governor in America has a man crush on governor nephew and will follow him off a cliff just like the good Lemming he is.
I think it’s time to sell Kalifornia back to Mexico, or perhaps Taiwan just for shits and giggles. The only product Kalifornia produces now is 💩.
We can have the illegals pull rickshaws or push carts, then we will be just like the rest of the third world shitholes
Interesting theory. If left to Brandon's will, we know which way that wind blows.
With CA's water shortages, it should be a burning question.
bkmk
“Does California have a deadline for fixing their forever water shortages?”
Not until God sends some more down or the government learns a much faster and better method of desalination.

Or maybe just use a positive and negative rail instead.
I can’t see any possible way that could end badly.
(except for Tesla owners trying to charge their cars on the tracks maybe)
California has now proven it’s gone insane.
