California not on track to meet 2030 emissions goals: Report

California would need to triple the rate of emissions cuts that the state has undertaken since 2010 in order to meet its climate goals for 2030, a new report has found.

The Golden State’s aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent below 1990’s levels by 2030 may be unachievable, according to this year’s California Green Innovation Index, released Thursday by the San Francisco-based nonprofit Next 10.

After California’s emissions plunged during the pandemic, they jumped 3.4 percent, per the report, prepared by Beacon Economics and citing information from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

“The increase in emissions following the pandemic makes it all the more difficult for California to meet its climate goals on time,” F. Noel Perry, founder of Next 10, said in a statement.

When did carbon credits eclipse the needs of Americans? We’ve become totally dehumanized.

We all knew this was impossible.
They are buying power from AZ nuclear plant.
They stuck two solar plants nearly in the NV desert.
They decommissioned their nuclear plants.
If you reduce your capacity by 30% and increase usage by 10% per year somewhere soon bad things are going to happen.

These “green goals” are like the Soviet five year plans.

They are totally insane—which is why the leftists love them.

They’re running out of conservatives to punish for this, unless they start exporting their punishment business.

Just force another 5,000 or 10,000 companies to flee CA and the problem is solved. Easy peasy.

Those are complicated concepts. You can’t expect the people in CA to understand such concepts.
