So federal funds will be used in California to pursue virtue signaling climate action. I live in California and I want someone in Arkansas to buy me a Tesla. Sounds fair.
Oh,
the
humanity.
Yeah, doesn’t it...
Newsom was sure basking in the sunlight last year, looking
real good with all those federal tax dollars in his pocket.
[ pandemic dollars ]
Problem is, these guys spend more than what they have, and
always seem to set up new outlay paths during times when
they should be spending on debt instead.
"efforts to combat climate change and transition to zero-emission vehicles"
There is no "man-made climate change" and the resources to produce and charge those vehicles do indeed, produce emissions.
I doubt Congress will continue doling out cash to California aside from it would normally send now that the scamdemic is over. But even with federal funds there is absolutely no way possible California can make its green wetdream of only electric vehicles a reality. Ain’t gonna happen.
Uhoh. Rice bowls are threatened. Environmentalism is a grift.
These people are idiots who have an unrealistic view of our ability to make technological advancements. They are the kind who thought in the 70s that Space 1999 was certainly the future with a fully operational moon base. Or that a “Robinson Caruso on Mars” type mission would be done before the end of the century. Fact is, other than Kennedy’s man on the moon challenge, we have never come close to meeting such challenges. Converting from oil to electric vehicles is just as big a challenge as a base on Mars, probably more of one. It will cost trillions and may very well destroy our economy. Unless we build thousands of nuclear power plants to generate the electricity to charge EVs then coal, natural gas, and petroleum will still be needed to run those power stations, making the whole effort moot.
Beavens to Hetsy! Not the electric care mandate!
What, running headlong into reality already?
I expected the sham to last at least another two or three years.
Proof positive that they can never be satisfied.
Another deadly mandate
Well Environmentalists are a waste of money
Bout the only way he is going to make up the budget shortfall is by imposing an Exit Tax on rich people leaving Ca.
Environmental-headcases better start raising money if they want things done. You want it, you pay for it.
I am glad I get to pay for the high speed train from Bakersfield to Modesto. And I live 4 states awaY.
The cuts actually threaten the bank accounts of environmental zealots.
They live off government, corporate, and foundation money, donations, grants, subsidies, etc.
CA should levy a tax on every EV sold and every solar panel or wind turbine sold in California to fund the environmental and climate change initiatives.
Ooo. I know an environmental program California could do that would actually benefit them. Build more Dams.
