If Newsom runs for president, the Republicans need to hang this, and other California BS, around his neck like a scarlet letter.

I remember reading Two Years Before the Mast, written about 1850?...in which Henry Dana described the morbid smog that covered sections of the coast of California.
Same as it ever was.....

So I guess these trucks used in mining materials to make EV batteries are zero emission?

[cymbeline]

Great experiment. Honestly I have no idea how it will work out. Certainly Gavin has some idea about how the citizens will react.

This is simply 100% an attack on the poor.

Naturally, on Thursday, all elected officials in California will surrender their gas vehicles and buy EV’s, starting with Alfred E. Newsom. And, as a show of commitment to reducing emissions, all will promise never to fly to a gig, opting instead to drive their EV’s, no matter how long it takes or how many charges.

Whoops, “sold in the state by 2026”.
Upset stomach, did not sleep well last night.
OK, three or four years away, but I stand with the rest of what I wrote.

Total removal of all of our gasoline powered cars tomorrow would make absolutely no difference. No need to cite graphs of CO2 production by country/car/etc, because the CA legislators are so effin’ stupid that they couldn’t pass fifth grade math test. I’m going to enjoy watching CA citizens shove this mandate up the legislator’s collective Obamaholes as time passes.

It’s not zero emissions, and carbon is not a pollutant. Carbon dioxide is not carbon.

[SaxxonWoods]

Meh, liberal problem.

[Sons of Union Vets]

Is this even constitutional??? I am no constitutional lawyer, but it would seem that this might be a violation of the Commerce Clause that prohibits forcing people to buy any product.

When corporations lobby governments to force people to buy their products, it seems to me that what we have is fascism!!!

Everyone will be a criminal as you are stopped and cited by the state police diving a gasoline powered state car. You will appear in court in front of a judge driven to work by a limousine powered by a diesel engine. Your car will be seized by the state for destruction and you will return to home on a mass transit bus run on diesel.

[SaxxonWoods]

NO MORE HYBRIDS?

[nickcarraway]

Aren’t the batteries worse than gas fueled cars for the environment?

[Sgt_Schultze]

Untether California from the grid providing fossil-generated electricity.
Provide them only certifiable “green” sourced sparks.

[ConservativeMind]

This will drive up used car prices.

[TexasGator]

BREAKING! FR bans altering original headline!

[Ebenezer]

By the same token, will California eventually close all of its airports and ban airplanes from flying in their airspace?

[Red Badger]

I told ya’ll it was coming!

But did you believe me?

NNNNNNNNNNNooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!.......................

Newsom has got to have a mental disability.
