“You need Chevron, I need Chevron.”
That’s the message from Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Xavier Becerra, who’s making waves by breaking with the left on one of California’s most ambitious climate policies — as he refuses to fully back the state’s plan to phase out new gas-powered vehicle sales by 2035.
The former Health and Human Services secretary, who leads polling ahead of the June 2 primary to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, stopped short of endorsing the state’s target to ban new gas and hybrid vehicle purchases starting in 2035.
“California should transition from gas-powered vehicles when it makes sense — when infrastructure and affordability are there for California families,” Becerra wrote in response to a POLITICO survey. His comments are the latest sign of a more moderate approach to climate policy as affordability concerns increasingly dominate California politics.

Et tu....
This puppet has no concrete beliefs of his own. The CA Democrat establishment controls him, and they’re making another political calculation, as all lefties do at election time, to “moderate” themselves on certain issues to draw in independent voters.
Bait and switch.
HE’S LYING!
Ah, the Dems think Cali voters are so stupid as to be fooled that gazillionth and first time.
So many examples...
There's...California High-Speed Rail included a connection between Los Angeles and San Francisco in about 2 hours and 40 minutes, with speeds up to 220 mph, and a completion date set for 2020.
Jake, LOL
No kidding, exactly what i thought - If the LA democrats actually start thinking in reality - and then oh well they won’t - its Chinatown.
Yep Virginia was the prototype. Go back to totally hiding who you are until you get elected. It was the rat formula for decades and now they are going back to it.
Clever positioning - most California Democrats are racing as far left as they can, so Bacerra positions himself as the slightly less deranged leftist.
“California should transition from gas-powered vehicles when it makes sense...”
No one can afford the price of any vehicle these days, partly because of cost associated with burdensome government regulations to include the impossible to meet mandate that all cars be electric by a certain date which cause expensive retooling cost that had to be paid by future customers. The government has no business dictating what cars we can drive and if electric cars ever become feasible and affordable they will become popular. That is no going to be anytime soon though, the battery technology has a long way to go before it makes sense.
