Of course then again that also means that you believe there is a vast scientific conspiracy to promote the idea of human-induced climate change, which also means you are a crazy, insane person and your opinion is essentially worthless.
This explains the massive superiority complex. I don't think those days are going to last, Texas will probably be #1 eventually.

It's not a superiority complex, it's the truth. California typically leads the rest of the United States.

Ever heard the phrase "As California goes, so goes the United States"? I certainly didn't make it up.

Obviously California has a lot of issues, but I can tell you I would rather live here than Texas.

The bill is aspirational. It calls for meeting the goal of 50%, kind of like saying, "Let's put men on Mars by 2050".

Those misleading adds opposing are from Big Oil, but you gotta read the fine print to catch that.

If we can make our machines more energy efficient, then I'm all for it.

The scientist did not deny this. It was in all the papers and people pushing MAN MADE global climate change act like they never heard of this.
FYI none of that is true. It's conspiracy theory gibberish and lies about a fake scandal.

A buddy I grew up with has been in North Dakota ever since their oil boom took off. We spoke a few months ago & he told me that, regardless of what you read in the newspapers, their coming for that oil. According to him, there are fields of oil under Los Angeles county that dwarf the oil fields in SD. Just what I was told.

Those Democratic blockheads in Sacramento are so fixated on a green economy and other pie in the sky dreams of theirs, disregarding the fact that electric and hybrids compose under 2% of the market; toss in the fact that over 70% of the new cars sold in California annually are imports, and that proposal is essentially DOA.
