Its not really surprising, but its going to be difficult to get from here to there.

If all diesel is off the road in 20 years, they would almost have to ban new diesel rigs today. There's all kinds of 20 year old stuff running around here- in fact - most of the 20 year old stuff is the "new" truck.

I hope CA likes not having anything to eat, drink or work with...

It says diesel vehicle ban, nothing about diesel generators being banned. Just pay no attention to the generator behind the curtain at the charging station

Lol.!!!

Let CA do as they like. Just make sure their problems stay in CA. The biggest problem is they have the western seaports. The other states seaport's goods have to cross the mountains.

What I can say is that the greenies have been able to put a gun to the head of industry to make this happen. What is missing is the "or what" question if it can't get done in the time frame allotted. Going hungry, being cold at night, very hot during the day and can't afford to go anywhere may make people realize that the gun is unloaded.

Still though, this is America so don't count out whether or not things can or can't happen in the future.

Unfortunately....The Pennsylvania Governor has decreed that here in Pa,
our vehicles must comply with Kalifornia regs., same with solvents.

25 percent of produce comes from california.

At the moment but that will change.

It all depends on temperate weather and water. length of growing season.

And Water CA does not have and is losing access to import from other states.

Mexico and Texas are fixing to overtake CA in foods production. A great deal of S Am Produce comes in at Galveston.

 

[Truck Shop]

Right along with everywhere else half of Mexico's territory is suffering drought. Texas drought.

We will approach a point of too far and I'll believe that will bring this craziness to an end. Probably the only action that will solve this is a trucker strike, and it's already expensive to haul in ca, this will probably double it.

I’ve heard that CA is about to force the issue by cutting off water to the CA farmers.

 

[AzIron]

The shear volume of produce that comes out of California is astounding not to mention forage production and dairy California has one of the largest dairy cow populations in the world and while ca has water and drought issues if they went back to better management practices they would be In better shape

The port situation is already working itself out and i am willing to bet that in 5 years long beach wont put the strangle hold on the market that it does now.

Weather electric takes hold or not time will tell ca already imports a lot of there base load from other states because there rules dont make it economical to build there so weather the grid will rise to challenge or not is hard to say but will be a rough road for a while

Cali is trying to legislate 10 lb's of **** fit in a 5 lb bag - it's just not going to work out the way they think it will.

The government is the only entity so ignorant enough to come up with a plan like this.

Only because people in gov't do not suffer any consequences for poor decisions.

examples...
Naval ordinance bureau - Mark 14 torpedoes.
Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) circa 1983
Further recent examples would get into political discussions. Above principle still applies.

Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) circa 1983

Yes-the problem was the counties that bought into WPPSS, some didn't like Grant County because that
county bought into dam projects, and has some of the cheapest power in the U.S.

 

[CM1995]

How will Cali produce the needed electricity to replace the diesel powered trucks? Didn't they have blackouts last summer? Morons.
