This is a blatant DISCRIMINATION against the POOR!

You mandate a lifestyle of CHOICE in the name of climate change. Well guess what, replace the word climate with the word weather, then you have

WEATHER CHANGES

Do you realize how idiotic that sounds?

High speed rail was approved by voters in 2008 . It has been 12 years and all they have to show for it is a few miles of track and cost overruns. The geniuses that run this state simply cannot do this in 15 years. Perhaps someone like Elon musk could, but not CA state government.

Oh yes we do. We have a plenty of choices.

Why is the climate change an imminent danger to California? Where's the evidence? Wild fires? I saw Newscum mentioned that on TV. He's IGNORANT on science.

Has the water level been rising? Are the beach houses in Malibu at risk of losing their homes? And why should I care?

Look at Texas. They've been assaulted by hurricanes. Suffering way more damages than California. Do you see their governor come out and blame this on climate change?

Wake up people! You want to go save a whale more power to you. Go build a ship. Oh wait, now you'll need to build an electric ship because you can't burn diesel anymore.

6.2% in California actually doesn't even sound like a small share. I thought it would be more like 2%. I can easily see the share growing to 25% by 2030.

Default Newsom eradicating sales of new gas powered cars by 2035

I'm sure this isn't news to many of you but thought I'd post anyway:

https://www.npr.org/2020/09/23/91620...e-cars-by-2035

Anyway, are gasoline powered cars really making wildfires worse out there? I'm just kind of having a difficult time envisioning this, and how a non-gas powered car could really make anything better...

Yes i can see 25% but for sure we will not see 100% new cars being non gas vehicle. It's not realistic dream.
