To borrow from Forrest Gump, stupid is as stupid does, but that’s not all there is to say about California’s Vehicle emissions standards or why Vermont and Massachusetts (along with 15 other states) are poised to adopt them and an Electric Vehicle mandate.
Editors Note: I have changed the title and bumped this post back up the home page. The original headline did not adequately convey the content, which I believe is essential reading for every electric ratepayer, especially in New Hampshire.
SHOT: Visualizing 10 Years of Global EV Sales by Country “A look at the explosion of global EV sales since 2011, broken down by country.
If you read the news online, it often claims that the California port situation is caused by a driver shortage. But wait, hold your horses: it is in part caused by a driver shortage but what has driven this numbers shortfall?
It’s been a strange year for California. They had to admit that cleaning up the forests might cut down on Forest fires or thier severity. And now they are building gas-fired power plants to prevent the blackouts that result from relying on too much of that Green* energy.
Here’s a quick, mid-Friday Facepalm for you!. California! I know I could stop there and have made my point. Any point. But you’re here for snarky commentary. An opinion that exposes degrees of stupid only achievable by Democrats and California is their holy Ground.
Before Lyft and Uber, if you did not have a vehicle, the options were limited. Public transportation or taxi services. Outside urban plantations, taxis are uncommon. Lyft and Uber turned anyone with interest into a local livery service. California hates that and is destroying it.
I REALLY like the sub-title – a longer variation on “I’m here from the Government and I’m here to help you”: Even more interference appears to be the German government’s approach to solving the power grid mess that its earlier meddling created in the first place.
Climate alarmists promote the Green New Deal and demand that we replace fossil fuels with “free” wind and solar generated electricity. But wind and solar generated electricity are neither free nor environmentally friendly. Both are costly and unreliable electric energy sources. Both require huge amounts of resources that will result in extensive mining in pristine … Read more
It is no secret that California is a mess. Crime, Disease, poverty, homelessness, and that was before COVID or the riots. The green energy also has rolling blackouts due to insufficient electric power, so what’s the next logical step? Prohibit any vehicle that is not electric.
We have “Shades of The Daily Sun and now-former reporter Mike Kitch, who believed that anyone with money should have it taken from them by their politicians, to bail out folks whose own politicians have screwed them over for years.
California made a huge commitment to the idea of green energy. Solar is big on the Left Coast. So, as it turns out, will be rolling blackouts. Why? Because while fossil fuels don’t care about the weather, solar does, and too much reliance on solar is causing Yuge problems for Cali.
The invisible hand of the market is not dead. Even Elon Musk, who has long benefited from the visible hand of government money, can still see it. And he’s using it to make an immediate change to his business. He’s taking his headquarters out of California.
To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield: This week, the House took Tuesday off for town election day, and then met Wednesday and Thursday on 400 bills. Thursday was the deadline for all House bills except the 129 that are in a second committee, so we had to act on all of them before … Read more
Greta Thunberg is the 16-year-old Swedish girl that the Left has deemed “our modern Joan of Arc” on Global Warming. No, really – without recognizing the irony that the real Joan was burnt at the stake.
The left creates disaster and misery everywhere that it goes unchecked, from urban plantations, and violent crime, to high taxes and government overreach. The poster child for these abuses is California, where the left is blinded by wildfires of failure, all their own making.
In case you needed any more evidence of just how crazy the NH Democrats have gotten: NH Democrat Rebecca McWilliams (Concord) is proposing a bill that would (in effect) delegate the regulation of New Hampshire’s air quality standards to a group of left‑coast bureaucrats known as the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
California is a train wreck. The environmentalists won’t let power companies manage trees. Power line problems during natural wind storms suffer damage. Raging forest fires wipe out thousands of cars and entire towns. So, PG&E turned off the power. What could go wrong?
The big news this week from the Utopia. To prevent destruction and death PG&E shut down part of the grid. Dry season. Windy days. Cutting power prevents forest fires. California Solar customers who thought they’d have power were surprised to find they don’t. Would you?
Doesn’t wind power seem to be the path to a carbon-free energy future? It’s clean and abundant. Larger turbines have enhanced wind’s power-generating capacity. It’s all good right? Well maybe not so much. Wind energy has grown thanks largely to billions of dollars of production tax credits. That’s a tax , regulatory, and affordability issue. … Read more
