“Our cars shouldn’t make wildfires worse ..."

Hmmmm...I didn't realize cars were the cause of wildfires.

Well, I guess that’ll take care of those wildfires....

Imagine the electric-powered airplanes and helicopters trying to put out the wildfires. Good for the first 20 minutes before heading back for a recharge.

Marxist attempt to nationalize the economy. Cause the complete collapse of the power and auto industries, then swoop in and nationalize them. Restrict the movement of the people so that you can outlaw suburbs and force everyone to live and work in government run communes, which are easier to police and control through force. Exterminate anyone who opposes the government or who cannot work. It's the dawn of the rebirth of American slavery.

Also, to those of you who write off California or the U.S., know that when California goes, so goes the U.S.A., and when the U.S.A. goes, so goes the world. The fight needs to be brought to California and there is no where to run when the Marxists plans come to fruition.

So. They have electricity shortages, and the answer is to make ALL ground transportation use electricity.

They know something. They know tyranny is coming and we won’t be allowed to travel.

The automobile was seen as an answer to that problem.

Ironic.

Newsom is attacking the “problem” of “California warming”. With China and India building dozens of new coal-fired power plants, Newsom’s diktat will not address GLOBAL warming.

As if CARB was not heavy-handed enough.

Where else does a gubmint agency set up exhaust sniffers on freeway on ramps to sniff out smog equipment violators.

Result: Used car sales will boom so much that California dealers will be importing used cars from other states.

Note to Newsome: The auto industries in California for re-supplying and repairs to used cars is one of the largest in the country, and with his “Green” executive order will continue to grow and become an even bigger part of the California economy.

My aunt had a TR6. It was a good looking car, even with the hood up most of the time. Always had problems.

I think she still has it.

No, that Fiat is a classic look. A friend had one in 1976. Cool car.

There are a lot on former Soviet refugees in my town, and one of the things they mention is that in worker's housing, those huge concrete apartment blocks, ALL the apartments were identical. The bathroom was there, the bedroom was that way, all the rooms were decorated the same, since the apartment is NOT yours, and the local Party manager must approve what you hang on the walls, and the colors you can use.

Democrats like that. It saves them from thinking, and thinking makes pains between their ears.

I have the solution, but no one likes it.

And then we’ll see a mandate restricting the use of electrical power produced in the state to government use only in order to recharge its electric vehicles, while Californians can sit in the dark and cook their food over open fires in their back yards. Of course, they will then be fined for open burning.

Come 2035, a mere 15 years from now California will still have 90%+ of all vehicles running on gas, and farmers will still be driving those old diesel trucks to the cannery.

And the CA legislature and governor will suddenly change their minds again.

I hope he does have the authority! CA already has a case of the shorts when it comes to electric power. The blackouts have proved this fact. Solar power is useless after the sun goes down, and most electric vehicle owners will want to recharge while they are at home asleep. So where will Newsom get the kilowatts needed? He certainly isn’t the brightest light bulb on the Christmas tree.
