California Goes Bonkers At The Thought That Trump And The NHTSA Want To Clip It's Wings

After months of discussion, circulating drafts, and arguing with the State of California, the Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration formally unveiled their plan to rewrite the existing corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) rules and replace them with something far less stringent.

The proposal would freeze the presiding standards in 2020 under the “Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks” plan, which is a mouthful.

This is exactly what Trump wants. The more socialist and unhinged the Democrats look, the easier they will be able to be pummeled this fall. Moreover with the appearance of "Trump coming for the Democrats" that will inspire more California Republicans to vote and to potentially knock Feinstein and Newsome off their blocks. The funny thing is that California Alt-Lefters will lose their minds and provide all sorts of #unhinged video bites.

It's quite obvious what the solution is. You ask California to agree to 50 state numbers with the initial numbers being those of California...which you then roll back in your second term.

Washington Post is HIGHLY biased and puts editorials out as news reporting. That is the definition of Fake News.

MDarringer, you are a special kind of idiot.


Take everything you THINK you know about people of color and apply that to homosexual people. The exact same feeling, just a different group so it can help you get some perspective. I remember something you said from a pervious conversation so hopefully you will see what I am talking about.

bw5011: I keep on coming back to this pertinent quote:
_____

"Donald Trump, champion and avatar of the shallow state, has won power because his supporters are threatened by what they don't understand, and what they don't understand is almost everything. Indeed, from evolution to data about our economy to the science of vaccines to the threats we face in the world, they reject vast subjects rooted in fact in order to have reality conform to their worldviews. They don't dig for truth; they skim the media for anything that makes them feel better about themselves. To many of them, knowledge is not a useful tool but a cunning barrier elites have created to keep power from the average man and woman."

- David Rothkopf
Professor of International Relations and Political Science

Daffy Don and his Devotees bleat that humans play no part in altering our environment, rising sea levels aren't happening, glaciers aren't retreating, etc. Humans burn over a cubic mile and a half of oil annually, and Daffy Don's Dunces insist this has no negative effects. And to top it off, they get angry at people who actually see the problem, and are doing something about it, like California.

Yeah, these are the people singing the praises of "clean" coal. It's lunacy of the highest order. I can't wait for the midterms to see if any part of America is wisening up, and seeing this sham of an administration for what it is.

Higher Taxes, more regulation and racism seems like the majority of the platform for which to vote left. What good does it even do to add carbon emission regulation to the US market when China, India and Mexico are there to pollute 100 X more CO2 than we would save at the U.S. taxpayers expense?...we're all in the same bubble!

Runamukk, lets say there are some houses that were sliding off the foundation in India because they didn't buy a part. Where ever you live has the same issue. Do you not fix it because India isn't fast enough or will not or do you take care of home?

Also, how are you talking about racism seems like platform for which to vote left. It is quite obviously that MOST of that lives on the right.

Taxes are necessary. They are necessary for the roads you drive on, for the emergency services we receive, for the military, etc. The right seems to think that you just spend money and don't pay for it but never bring up the rising debt is the way. Regulation is good to protect people MOST of the time. Do you want a coal company dumping toxic waste in streams near your house. They can now if they want, thanks to Trump.

Your statement about polluting is a lie or real fake news. Look that info up for yourself.

Actually - the left advocates LESS taxes for the average working person WHILE the RIGHT always manages to lower the taxes of the people in the Top 5% of earners.

THe fact is - by regulating CO2 emissions - in California - they have managed to reduce the number of Health emergencies dramatically over the years. Yes - it is the same bubble - but conditions are not the same all over it. WE are subject to the prevailing winds. However - the idea that we should allow OUR country to act as irresponsibly as some others is nonsense. It would be like saying that there should be NO speed limits because that is true in some middle east countries. WE have to deal with the situation we have been dealt and we have shown we can IMPROVE it with responsible action.

TomM is doing his Jack Daniels again. The Socialist-Fascist Alt-Left has ALWAYS been about taxation and more taxation for redistributing the dollars from responsible, hard-working Americans to shiftless, lazy losers and the illegals breaking international law.

Curious how much of issue switches to energy production slice on circle draft as more California cars go electric?

PG&E (main Cali utility) is building a Gigawatt Grid Storage system over the next couple of years. That is enough to power an extra 100,000 electric cars simultaneously. Combined with rapidly increasing solar and renewable deployments, energy is a total non-issue.

Trump has simply been riding the wave of prosperity originated in the Obama administration. Even Shepard Smith from Fox news admits this. Wait till the China tariffs kick in and you find your average Walmart store costs 25% more to by things than before. Yes you will be able to get short term health care but it will be a shitty policy and will not cover pre-existing conditions. In order for this country to wake up it needs to go through hell and back. We are on our way. Just wait a few months.
