This is more of the Blame Shifting by the state for the disastrous policies of the state, county, and city which led to the horrible wildfires, and, yet, the people who are looking to pass it aren’t giving up their own use of fossil fuels, nor are most of the Comrades and insurance companies
A California state senator said Monday that he wants to give homeowners and insurers the ability to sue oil and gas companies when a disaster caused by climate change damages their property.
The bill, called the Affordable Insurance and Climate Recovery Act, seeks to give people injured by climate disasters a private right of action to recover their losses from oil and gas companies. State Senator Scott Wiener said those companies have misled people about the harm caused by their products.
Senate Bill 222 also would provide insurers with a direct cause of action against oil and gas companies. They could recover losses resulting from climate impacts and rising costs looming over the insurance market and the state’s FAIR Plan.
“These disasters happen and then who pays for them?” said Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat, standing Monday outside the state Capitol. “It’s us, the taxpayers, because of course we step in to help people rebuild, as we should.”
Of course it would be super-freak Scott Weiner, but, then, it could be any one of the moonbats in the People’s Republik Of California general assembly. What’s the chance this passes? I’d give it 88%, and that it passes within a couple months. At what point do fossil fuels companies just say “no mas!” and end their services in the PRC? Would be really tough to get goods in and out of the state. All those cargo ships and trucks. How do they run the trains? What happens with the huge number of airports? How do the celebs fly their private jets?
If insurance companies and the FAIR Plan can recoup their losses caused by climate disasters from oil and gas companies deemed responsible for those damages, the insurance market will stabilize and help with California’s high insurance costs, Wiener said in a statement.
Let’s say it works: the cost of fuel will skyrocket, at best, leading to the cost of most things going up. At worst, the companies decided they cannot afford to operate, from small convenience stores and gas stations up to the big companies. It would get really ugly, but, hey, the Comrades keep voting for Democrats, so, they will only have themselves to blame.
