California Blames Trump As It Ditches Diesel Truck Ban, New Clean-Air Rules
by Thomas Richard, CCD Editor  Jan 21, 2025

California is scrapping its ambitious plans to ban diesel trucks and mandate cleaner locomotives. The reason? The incoming Trump administration is unlikely to approve the onerous one-size-fits-all regulations.
 
State officials have long considered the rules essential to cleaning up California’s severe air pollution and combating climate change.

The withdrawal comes after the Biden administration recently approved California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) mandate phasing out new gas-powered cars, but had not yet approved waivers for four other clean-vehicle rules the state adopted.

Why? President Trump plans to scrap zero-emission vehicle rules and California’s clean-air waivers, so Gov. Newsom withdrew the state’s request for EPA approval as the ‘state recalibrates‘ under the Trump administration.

Not even 2 full days in office and Mejifornia leftists are looking for someone to scapegoat for their failed policies, other than themselves naturally, and they use Trump.  As Sen. Kennedy might say, you have to be some kind of stupid to have a plan like that. *****rollingeyes*****

The eniviro-whacko faction is in full retreat.  Now it's time to start prosecuting and jailing some of the leaders of the scam.

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.

The only problem being we don't have enough prosecutors to get to all of them.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
