Re: “Democrats also forced Mr. Brown to scrap a measure that would have given the California Air Resources Board plenary authority to reduce statewide oil consumption in vehicles by half by 2030.”
California air standards already require specialized refineries to produce custom blends of gasoline.
If you own one of those refineries are you going to upgrade your equipment or invest in R&D when the governor has vowed to destroy your business in 15 years?
Are you going to build a new gas station or upgrade the one you already own?
California already has the most expensive gasoline in the country.
And it’s going to get way more expensive and way more difficult to buy in the future.
Since California has banned new nuke and new coal generators, where is all the electric power for electric vehicles going to come from?
Utah. They will build all the power plants necessary and sell power to California....with a 50-percent profit ratio figured into the cost.
