Inflation is forever.
Note to the idiots in the land of fruits and nuts: There are other ports in America. Additionally, everything that is made and grown in California can be made elsewhere or is really isn’t a necessity. The competent and productive are already leaving California in droves. You better start thinking about who and what remains in California when you have your utopia in 2035.
Calling all coolies, wheel barrow and rickshaw days are back.
“We are counting on the shipper community to pay significantly elevated prices to support the higher equipment costs,” Mr. Brown said.”
Translation: If you thought import duties and inflation were high now, just wait until we get the ‘Shipper Community’ bill for those “significantly elevated prices to support the higher equipment costs.”
Without cheap, available power, no food production and no food delivery and no food preservation (refrigeration).
But that's what they plan for us - extinction.
And this from a state that can’t keep enough juice on line to warm everyones pop tarts consistently.
This Brown guy also thinks that shippers will pay for these bureaucrat fiats. ?.
Put it up for a vote. Elect sane people and holding them responsible for what the government does. it is california the ones that brought us smog pumps.
Thankfully. California’s electric grid is rock solid. . .
Electric is not efficient for “work” such as trucks.
These trucks will all have to be fuel-cell (hydrogen) to comply.
CNG is cheap and proven, but the emotional environmentalists will not allow it.
I don’t see how they can implement this without the Federal Government’s approval. It would be the same as if Missouri would ban diesel trucks from crossing the state via I-70 or I-44.
Starvation lasts even longer than that.
So steam power or Stirling engines are acceptable. Smells like an opportunity to make money from this loophole.
Given today's technology, how much Lithium batteries would an 18-wheeler need to use to handle the loads?
I don’t care. First, I’ll be 81. Second,I don’t live in that country. By the time any such nonsense comes to my country I’ll probably be dead.
I’m waiting for the first California idiot legislator to want to require all trains be powered by EV locomotives.
this wont increase the price of nearly everything in California will it?
LMAO
you idiots voted for this, enjoy the suck.
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
bkmk
California has now proven it’s gone insane.
No, people will ship containers and freight to other ports outside of California. Unless, that freight is finalizing in LA or Oakland.
It will become cheaper to ship into Tacoma, Vancouver, Mexico, Houston, and all the other US east coast ports. People do not understand that logistics is a function of the cost to transport an item from point A to point B the CHEAPEST possible way. IF you do not, someone else will sell that product to the end user for less than you. Trucking companies will just refuse to do business in California. People in California will pay more money for EVERYTHING.
I've read plans that I believe likely to accomplish killing off the small guys. The scenario is for the large trucking companies to leverage their existing hubs to largely provide charging for their fleet.
Example…. The company has a hub in Long Beach and a second in Las Vegas. The Long Beach hub charges local short range trucks and long range trucks for the Las Vegas run. The long range trucks have capacity to make the LA-LV run on a single charge. At the LV hub, the trailer load would be switched to a different long range truck and new driver to continue on to the next hub.
I understand that Tesla has been trialing this with their short and long range truck test fleet for a year or two. Yep…. Tesla is going heavy into commercial trucks.
The independent owner~operator and small companies are excluded from this private charging network.
Solar and wind cannot supply the electrical energy to support large scale electrification of transportation. CA is going to crash.
My opinions….
