Does it involve failing to have the firefighting infrastructure in place, letting it burn, and screwing with homeowners, making it hard to rebuild, and then trying to get them to sell so they can build “affordable” housing, making sure NGOs, friends, and donors get a cut?
Mayor Bass has a new plan for addressing climate change in Los Angeles
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass released a new plan Thursday setting goals for the city to combat climate change and adapt to a warmer future.
Bass’ Climate Action Plan calls for doubling local solar power in Los Angeles by 2030 and reducing the use of fossil fuels in buildings and city buses.
Will it include Bass not using fossil fuels to be limo’d around, or flying to Ghana?
It outlines how the city intends to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases at the Port of Los Angeles and L.A. International Airport. And it sets targets for reducing water use, addressing risks from extreme heat, and expanding parks and green spaces to cool neighborhoods and restore natural habitat.
So, costs for goods coming through the port will skyrocket (when they aren’t stolen). Why even allow the airport, which uses tons of fossil fuels? Shut it down! As for the rest, it’s just more control of the citizens, and will cause more to leave California.
“Cities are the front lines for the climate crisis. Angelenos are living with the impacts every day — from devastating wildfires and floods to rising heat and longer heat waves,” Bass wrote in a letter announcing the document. “This plan outlines how Angelenos will benefit from a resilient, carbon-free L.A.”
Yeah, watch your wallets, LA residents! But, then, most voted for this crap, so, don’t complain.
Bass’ strategy includes 14 objectives and more than 50 targets and actions, which it says are “designed to deliver concrete, measurable climate outcomes.” The goals include:
- Increasing renewable energy to 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. (where? Where will it be located? How will this work? The devil is in the details)
- Converting all of the L.A. Department of Transportation buses to electric by 2028. (this should be fun)
- Working with airlines and fuel suppliers at LAX and Van Nuys Airport to increase the use of sustainable fuel by 28% by 2030. (sustainable fuel is in its infancy, and costs a hell of a lot more)
- Passing a new ordinance this year to prohibit new oil and gas drilling, and creating a process to end current oil and gas extraction in the city. (who’s currently drilling in the city of LA now? It’s not worth it)
There’s more to it, but, it’s all just a big power and money grab. Again, you voted for this, so, pipe down.
