This is very interesting, considering how much in the way of fossil fuels are used by the same people making the recommendations
(Grist) Let’s ban gasoline-powered cars, says California’s governor. It’s often said that national climate policy is “Made in California,†and now Governor Jerry Brown reportedly wants to ban the internal combustion engine from its roads.
“I’ve gotten messages from the governor asking, ‘Why haven’t we done something already?’†Mary Nichols, chair of the powerful California Air Resources Board, told Bloomberg. “The governor has certainly indicated an interest in why China can do this and not California.†(snip)
A ban could come as soon as 2030, Nichols said.
Perhaps Nichols could explain how she and the governor have given up their own use of fossil fueled planes and vehicles?
(Daily Caller) Analysts and conservatives believe a Democrat-led plan to propose a ban on gas-powered cars in California later this year is a pie-in-the-sky scheme that ignores important factors about the state’s auto industry.
Assemblyman Phil Ting plans to introduce a bill in January that would ban the sale of gas-powered cars produced after 2040. The Democratic lawmaker said California drivers must adopt electric vehicles if the state is going to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – but some are scoffing at the push.
“The market is moving this way. The entire world is moving this way. At some point you need to set a goal and put a line in the sand,†Ting told reporters Friday. Environmental groups such as the Sierra Club have joined his push to wipe out the state’s fossil fuel industry.
The market isn’t really moving there, unless you are now calling The Government the market.
Kerry Jackson, a fellow at the Pacific Research Institute, a California-based free market non-profit group, for instance, told reporters that the push to force citizens to abandon their gas-powered cars is another example of the state’s overzealous environmentalism.
“The reaction is like, ‘Gee, somebody has been reading The Onion and they got taken in by the parody,†he said, responding to lawmakers’ desire to delete the fossil fuel industry. “But then it fades a little bit and you go, ‘Yeah, this is California.’â€
Really, if this is so important to California, why not just restrict all sales starting in 2020?
BTW, someone once asked what was the point of using Rage Boy in that graphic. The answer is that Warmists are as unhinged and zealous as Rage Boy.
