California Governor Newsom has just signed a ban on the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035. This means he wants some governor a dozen years from now to figure out how the hell to reverse this idiocy

 Unlike small states such as Delaware and Rhode Island, California can't be crossed with an electric car, so what imbecile conceived that they should ban gas and diesel powered cars?

Governor Gavin Newsom

And probably Elon Musk. You don't think Tesla had any input on this? I doubt they needed to, but they are going to suddenly be very popular in stock buying and car dealerships, and all that 


Check back in a dozen years to see how they realize what a moron this guy is at trying to influence the future of car sales

Regardless, all this means is the plan in in for the long term removal of exhaust making vehicles, and this isn't even debateable. No doubt the few refineries will close in 10 years, and after that, don't even think of bringing gas over the border. Just move out and leave the coast so the rich people can get on living on the golden coast without you, or your stinking 80s gas guzzlers. 

If you didn't know, even the poor neighborhoods do not have houses for sale under 400,000 in San Dieg


Governor Newsom issued an Executive Order instructing the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to draft regulations requiring that all new cars and passenger trucks sold in the state be zero-emissions by 2035.

Once drafted, CARB’s proposed regulations will be subject to a lengthy regulatory process, including legal, economic, and environmental analyses, public comment and hearings. The Governor’s order is also expected to face numerous legal challenges from opponents.(All of us)

California’s ZEV program falls within the state’s greenhouse gas rule that is being challenged in court by the Trump Administration. The federal government is seeking to withdraw EPA recognition of the California rule under the Clean Air Act because it effectively establishes fuel economy standards which are the sole jurisdiction of the federal government. The challenge could eventually be decided by the Supreme Court.

  1. elections have consequences
    and where do democrats think the electricity to recharge the cars comes from?
    its not unicorn farts, its created by burning coal and natural gas,
    CA already banned commercial diesel trucks built before 2010.

    CA is nuts, anyone living there should be making plans to leave, just dont elect the same kind of democrat retards in your new state.

    1. Bronoco, I think we are seeing an exodus now. Yes, too much sun tends to addle the brain, so I hear.

  2. Most of the rest of the world is phasing out vehicles powered by fossil fuels. The UK has just brought forward its ban to 2030.

  3. Electric is only a stop gap "solution" that won't work anyway, in California we have numerous Power Blackouts now, imagine what it'll be like with even 10% of all Cars Electric. I live in the Palm Springs area we had 122 degree heatwave and lost power from 3AM to 3PM, with the Covid there was no place to go. I just loaded up the Family and took a nice long drive and added more than my part to Pollution, but hey at least we were in Air Conditioning.

    1. Palm Springs? Dang, that's mighty warm. I'm in San Diego. Let me know if I can meet you some where when it's cooler, and I guess after this virus thing, and buy you a beer. 122... damn, that's nuts. I hope you get a generator, as a friend up near Sacramento also lost power a couple weekends ago during that bad heat wave, and was lucky to have previously bought a couple of those super quiet Honda cube generators

  4. So is Newsom leading by example and using an electric car for his transportation, or is he using gas-powered SUV or limousine? I tried searching for it, but can't find any information about what kind of vehicle he uses.

    1. Astute observation! I do not have an answer, but I'd love to slep him across the face with that one. Years ago I posted about the state govt fleet of vehicles all being gas guzzlers, and paid for by the taxpayers, with gas cards that we taxpayers are also funding.
      So, I think it's easy to expect that the Gov only rides in Lincoln Navigators, Chevy Suburbans, Cadillacs, or possibly Mercedes vans.

    2. thanks for the post idea! Coming right up, the governor who needs 3 gas guzzlers to motorcade about. Not just one, but a couple extra for the groupies who need to hang around
