Well, this is weird. I would have thought the Comrades in the PRC would have been not only meeting, but, beating their targets. Everyone buying an EV or taking public transit. Maybe biking. Moving into tiny homes, giving up meat, and more (available at Yahoo News if you get paywalled)
California is behind in reducing climate-warming pollution and needs to get its act together.
A sobering new report found that California reduced greenhouse gas emissions by only 1.6% between 2018 and 2019, the latest year for which data are available. To meet its legal mandate to cut emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, the state needs to reduce pollution by 4.3% every year, more than double the 2019 rate, according to the analysis released by the San Francisco-based Next 10 think tank.
That meager progress is alarming and bodes ill for state and global efforts to stave off catastrophic climate disruption. The stakes could not be higher, particularly in California, where we are already seeing the impacts of a warming planet in deadly waves, wildfires and air pollution. But state leaders are dawdling when they should be racing to save our planet.
I suggest that they start by getting rid of all fossil fueled travel for elected officials at the state, local, and county levels, along with all appointed positions. Government offices should be kept at 80 for AC and 64 for heat. End all perks that are not ‘climate change’ friendly.
What does the editorial board of the LA Times suggest?
- Strengthen zero-emission vehicle rules and incentives (they mean on the peons, not the Elites)
- Get more renewable electricity online, fast (how do you plan to do this without moving it with fossil fueled transportation and equipment? Same paper wants to do away with nuclear power)
- Phase out gas heating of buildings (they want to pay for low income housing to switch, but, what of the middle class, who’ll have to pay huge sums to do this? And where is all this electricity coming from? Should citizens just adjust to planned and unplanned power outages?)
And then they’ll wonder why even more people escape California.
Leftists WANT the middle class to go extinct. It’s part of their religious beliefs, from the Book of Marx.
Unicorn farts and leprechaun poop. At least until THESE are deemed to be unacceptable.
Yep.
First 2 Nikola EV trucks delivered to Total Transportation Services a dry age company servicing LA and ong Beach ports
They have a range of 350 miles The average yearly distance a class 8 semi driven in a year is 62000 miles about 50% of all class 8 trucks built are day cabs
That company has signed a letter of intent to buy 100
They are also in production in Europe
So Teach yes fossil fueled trucks will continue to be built but their end is already seen on the horizon
subject to TTSI obtaining certain government funding,
A little something Johnnie failed to mention.

Teach you own power company Duke Power has cut carbon pollution30% since 2005 and expects that to hit 50% by 2030 and be carbon neutral by 2050
Does this terrify you? Power outages!!! Skyrocketing costs!!!! OMG
Better prep heavily with stockpiles if coal
You may find it wiser to keep your mouth shut until the Duke Power goals are reached, they maintain power and prove sustainability. Or act the schmuck and do a Solyndra and come away looking stuuuuupid. Smart people cheer after the win, not before.
John- why should Duke Power cut their carbon emissions?
It’s a natural consequence of using natural gas instead of coal plants. The information is probably on the internet somewhere. It’s not a big mystery and not in any way related to corporate policy to reduce carbon. Fracking just make Gas so darned plentiful. BTW, Fracking exists only because governments never saw it coming so they didn’t stop it before it was successful. There has never been a government policy that resulted in inventing anything.
