It was at one time a great state. Now it’s an embarrassment.
Yes, that should put the state pretty much out of business. There are a lot of insane people in charge of things. Some years back they would have been safe in locked psych facilities, where they belong.
My brother in law is an OTR owner/operator trucker and he refuses hauling loads to California at any price. If more truckers start doing the same then California will be in a world of hurt as they should be for being stupid.
California is easy compared to the I95 BosWash corridor. If I had to pick one I’d refuse were I trucking again, I know which it would be.
California Mulls Ban On All Gas And Diesel Truck Fleets
California’s Air Resources Board (CARB) has laid out a plan to ban all diesel-powered trucks that would cause inflationary ripples throughout the entire economy.
The plan would mandate that all new trucks operating around busy railways and ports be zero emission vehicles by 2024 – while all diesel trucks would be phased out by 2035, and eventually, banishing every truck and bus fleet from California roads by 2045, where feasible, according to SFGATE.
It's not CA. It's Biden's commitment to the Paris Treaty...50% reduction by 2030 and 100% reduction by 2050.
Shippers are seeing this with increased imports going to the east coast and gulf coast ports.
And this is not because of EV...it's because the CA ports are still backed up.
Go full bore EV and you won't get many 18 wheelers pulling in to those ports to haul off stuff.
CA may be cutting off their nose too quick here.
California is still innovative--even if it is taking advantage of federal policy. I'd need more than your word. Do you think the Chinese ships are going to bypass CA to go to Alabama? Is the Panama cannal deep and wide enough? IDK, maybe. Something needs to give if the back-up persists. It is a worldwide issue. California is like a nation state--more or less. A big market that capitalism isn't going to ignore. Change is the only constant. Cheers.

Just more brain dead virtue signalling. Let them ban ICE vehicles, because then people will pay for their stupidity when brown out and black outs take place, and no can drive to work or deliver food to the store shelves.
Even the electric car makers have admitted that if we ever replaced all cars with electric, fossil fuel usage would remain flat. This is why big oil can jump onboard with the EV craze and diversify their profits. They know that fossil fuels will always be needed to manufacture products. The small independent oil producers might fall into bankruptcy, but the big multi-national oil companies will be around for a hundred years

All of these foolish California regulations will not stop at the borders.. Just more of Brandon's plan to destroy America
