It’s really tedious that so many conservative commentators are no more than outrage addicts. You’ve heard that Commiefornia plans to ban gas cars by 2035, but it’s not a thing happening then. It’s a thing happening now.
It’s a classic ‘manufacturing demand’ strategy.
California bans the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035

Marxists can’t even do a five-year plan, so what’s up with this 12-year plan?
California, the country’s most populous state and the center of U.S. car culture, is banning the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles starting in 2035, marking a historic step in the state’s battle against climate change.
The rule, issued by the California Air Resources Board on Thursday, will force automakers to speed up production of cleaner vehicles beginning in 2026 until sales of only zero-emission cars, pickup trucks and SUVs are allowed in the state.
A small group of bureaucrats accountable only to Governor Newsom, decided that, in their oh-so-EXPERT opinion, the rest of humanity needs to buy unaffordably massive quantities of toxic chemicals with no power plants available to juice them up. There is no chance that this actually happens. Not because voters, they aren’t even in the loop… QED above… but because reality.
The transportation sector represents the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in California, which has suffered from record-breaking wildfires, droughts and air pollution worsened by climate change.
The reasons given have nothing to do with the action. A classic, yet amateur tell for a deception.
Fact: nobody wants EVs except as expensive toys or situational applications. Fact: gas cars will always be cheaper, easier to manufacture and more easily repaired.
How, then, does the government manufacture demand for what nobody wants?
By banning the alternatives, of course.
Cali is banning gas vehicles tomorrow, so that vehicle manufacturers will change their product lines today. It’s not that the people will want EVs, it’s that the government won’t give them a choice, so car makers better get started making toxic junk that nobody wants because… the governor wants his ten percent.

Montr?al . TheNewswire – January 20, 2021 . St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. is pleased to welcome Mr. Paul Pelosi, Jr. as a Director and the President of St-Georges. new subsidiary, EVSX Corp. which is dedicated to electric vehicle battery recycling and future partnerships in the development of lithium mineral resources.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is Paul Pelosi’s cousin. That’s why Newsom and his Air Resources Board are spiking demand for lithium batteries. It’s not about everybody driving EVs in 2035. It’s about short-term market manipulations today.
Hat tip to NewConservativePost.com.
Paul.s expertise in green technology, eco-responsible investments, and regulatory governmental environmental legislative framework will play a critical role in developing and deploying St-Georges. lithium mineral processing technology and EV battery recycling technology initiative.
St-Georges and its partner, Altair International, have joined forces to develop metallurgical solutions for the recycling of lithium and other metals from EV batteries. They are working diligently to complete a long-form agreement before the end of the month.

He is known for his humanitarian beliefs and work in the field and received the Georgetown International Human Rights Award in 1994. He has been a member of the California State Bar since 1996.
I didn’t know he was Jesuit-aligned. Always figured the Getty/Pelosi crime family was its own shop.
End segue
Liane Randolph, chair of the California Air Resources Board, said the rule is one of the state’s most important efforts yet to clean the air and will lead to a 50% reduction in pollution from cars and light trucks by 2040.
Eww. I do not know the correct pronouns for Liane. Let’s assume that/freak.
The decision is expected to have sweeping impacts beyond California and will likely pave the way for other states to follow suit. At least 15 states, including New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, have adopted California’s vehicle standards on previous clean-car rules.
.California is once again leading the way by establishing commonsense standards that will transition to sales of all zero-polluting cars and light-duty trucks in the state,. said Kathy Harris, clean vehicles advocate at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Their intent is clearly not for this to be a state-specific thing. A major reason why Commiefornia is where all the new freakishness shows up is because it’s 25% of the national economy, give or take. The thinking is that major businesses will do anything rather than be shut out of one-fourth of the economy.
As more governments are Converged, the market share increases.
But.
That has ceased to be true. It’s happening in electric generators and small-motor equipment because of emission standards… hello again, Air Resources Board… but also, the makers of brass fittings, disposable plastic goods and foodstuffs are increasingly refusing to sell in Commiefornia AT ALL.
I’m sure there’ll be more stuff added to the list as time goes on. Point is, that’s what is happening here and it ain’t gonna last. Certainly not for another 12 years.
A federal waiver under the Clean Air Act allows the state to adopt stronger fuel economy standards than those of the federal government and it has set the precedent for the rest of the country on how to curb vehicle emissions.
California.s ability to control vehicle emissions has spurred innovations like catalytic converters that convert toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas into less-toxic pollutants, as well as “check engine” lights. The state established the nation’s first tailpipe emissions standards in 1966.
They’ve had a long run of success with wag-the-dog tactic, too.
The Trump administration in 2019 revoked California’s authority to regulate its own air quality, but the Biden administration restored that authority earlier this year.
Then Trump happened. Let it not be said that he was all bad!
State officials said the rule is critical to meeting the state’s goal of transitioning to 100% renewable energy by 2045, adding that resulting emissions declines would lead to fewer cardiopulmonary deaths and improved health for those suffering from asthma and other illnesses.
It’s true! Once we are renewably burning dung for warmth, asthma will be the least of our concerns. Fortunately…
However, meeting the timeline will face challenges, including installing enough charging stations across the state and having adequate access to materials needed to make batteries for electric vehicles.
…it’s not gonna come to that. Reality is that thing which when the government rejects it, cannot be shot, imprisoned, beaten, threatened, starved, intimidated, deceived or memory-holed into obedience.
Con-servative pundits should be laughing at this rule, not crying about it. That’s how you defeat these wag-the-dog efforts. You just don’t take them seriously… publicly.
Just stop selling vehicles or anything else to California. Then evrything wont need that “the state of California sys this causes cancer” label.
Tax-you-out-the-assachusetts is following suit:

So a state can ban the sale of gasoline powered cars. What’s to stop CA residents from purchasing cars in other states and bringing them back home?
Per the linked article, nothing at the moment. But when a small roomful of experts can make life-changing dictats for millions of people at will, that’s not saying anything. In fact, in that situation the rule of law doesn’t mean anything. As in a prison, the rules change day-by-day with the people having no voice or recourse, in order to maintain the warden’s power and wealth.
Sacramento itself should be freaking out over this. A state law made without the legislature! But the legislators don’t care that their authority, their meal ticket, is being usurped! That’s what is so frustrating about Clown World. People don’t act even in their OWN interests. Everybody is sleepwalking except the crime families and the fringe dissidents.
California already considers itself a separate country from USA. Sacramento maintains a list of states that it refuses to acknowledge or allow travel to… thus far, it’s only binding on government employees while on duty. One reason I want out of Cali is because when the Fed dollars stop flowing, Cali will shift loyalty from USA to PRC. Which is also why I don’t want to see a breakup of the Union. It’s not going to be a reversion to normality, it’ll be kleptocrats consolidating their little empires.
