California Accused Of Setting Up Illegal Cartel To Push Electric Trucks
by Chris Pandolfo  Dec 17, 2024
 
A conservative pro-business group and Midwest trucking operators say California regulators have illegally sidestepped federal law to force a transition to electric trucks. [emphasis, links added]

The American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce (AmFree) and trucking operators allege in a new lawsuit that California has created a cartel arrangement with the nation’s largest heavy-duty truck companies to phase out internal combustion engines by 2036.


The alleged scheme involves the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and all major manufacturers of gas-powered heavy-duty trucks that entered into an agreement called the Clean Truck Partnership last year.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I hate the headline.

Why did I get the image of swarms of peasant-dressed illegal immigrants literally pushing trucks to the next charging station?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
