California Threatens Gasoline Car Ban

[Swordsmyth]

California might ban gasoline-powered cars if the federal government goes ahead with a plan to relax emission and fuel economy standards, Bloomberg reports (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-16/california-regulator-threatens-trump-with-gasoline-engine-ban), citing the chair of the California Air Resources Board.
“CARB will be exploring ways to ensure communities get the reductions of air pollution they so desperately need to keep the air clean and breathable -- and continue to fight climate change,” Mary Nichols said. “That might mean, for example, tougher requirements for low-carbon fuels, looking at tighter health-protective regulations on California refineries, doubling down on our enforcement efforts on mobile and stationary sources -- and might lead to an outright ban on internal combustion engines.”

Good, I hope they do.

Coupled with increases in energy taxes and fatwas banning fossil fuel generated electricity, that should have all the proles pedaling around on bicycles like the good little Maoists they are.

Shit, what was I thinking? Can't have bicycles...steel, smelting, rubber, refining, oil...need all of those for bicycles.

All the proles will be shuffling along in hand made, organically grown, fair trade, illegal migrant woven bamboo leaf sandals.

You do know of course, that ICE powered limousines and jets and so forth will not be prohibited to the ruling class or police.

Maybe the rural counties will revolt.

Revolt?

:tears:

They'll die, just like what's happening to what's left of real America across this blighted land.

If the Frenchies can go Yellow Vest then maybe rural Kalifornians can too.

Let's hope so.

California really does not deserve gasoline cars . They should punish themselves and leave them to those of us who behave better .
