Gavin Newsom is coming for your car, and he wants you to know it

[Politico] F*&K HIM
His pitch: The effects of climate change are upon us and the world — including California — ignores them at their peril.

California is “meeting the moment head-on as the hots get hotter, the dries get drier, the wets get wetter, simultaneous droughts and rain bombs,” Newsom said last month in a Central Valley orchard outfitted with solar panels and batteries. “We have to address these issues with a ferocity that is required of us.”

He’s heading to the Vatican next week to meet with Pope Francis and other leaders, where he’ll highlight what’s at stake with “global temperatures hurtling towards alarming new heights.” The trip comes after a swing through China last fall, where he touted California’s sharing of climate policy and technology.

Newsom’s moves to promote electric vehicles and renewable energy while phasing out gas-powered cars, trying to recoup climate-related damages from oil giants and going after refiners’ profits have won strong support in California, but his efforts face a reliable line of attack from the industry and Republicans who say it’s all too expensive.

He’s used to the criticism. A key part of his strategy has been to ascribe high gas prices and utility bills to corporate greed and gouging while beating back proposals that he believes go too far like Proposition 30, which would have raised taxes on the rich in 2022 to funnel money to electric vehicles.

#1 Hurtling! Hurtling!! He and his ilk make me want to hurl. And all of those fields of solar panel banks are future superfund sites. Meeting with a fellow commie in Italy, eh?

Limiting or restricting freedom of movement (via trucks, cars, farm tractors) is an essential element of any land invasion and occupation.

Preferring Red states to Blue, people are constantly moving about. They are quite difficult to monitor and control.

#9 His popularity in California is 40%. Remember when people were talking about Newsom as a presidential shoe in candidate.

#10 I would say cars are dying on their own because car companies do not build reliable, moderate priced vehicles that consumers want. Car companies are building cars that the GIVERNMENT wants. Chevy is cancelling the Malibu (last midsize car built in Detroit) and too be honest it looks like every other car on the market. The Malibu would still be selling if it looked like the 1964 model versus the 2024 model.

#12 If any of my kids makes the mistake of allowing me to participate in homeschooling their, at this point, theoretical kids, history class will be sprinkled with the Fat Electrician videos. They will know what baloney mist is.
