California passes law requiring ‘smog checks’ for semis

Climate Changes every day . Some days it rain , others it does not .

 

According to the State of California, my toilet paper is a known carcinogen and is subject to Prop65 notices.

While this is intended to be a joke, it would actually go quite a ways towards explaining how the toilet stall water bottles came to be a thing... too many people take what Commiefornia has to say as gospel. I think it's high time the power trip is brought to an end. Hard and fast, just like they were hit by the freight train that is reality

 

CA buys power from NM... who makes it woth coal plants. One such plant is in the same compound as a paper mill that I've picked up and delivered at. Don't tell me that CA doesn't need other states to sustain themselves, because that's bull and we all know it

 

Simple if it gets too warm take some clothes off if it gets too cold put some clothes back on what’s the problem!
Forget about it !

 

Coal generation provides less than 5% of the state electricity.

 

I gave one example of a much larger issue

 

This bill will have extremely limited air quality impact. Truckers replaced all of their older equipment with 2010 diesel emissions technology under the 2008 Truck & Bus rule on a sliding scale. The last of the older engines (already retrofitted) must leave the state by 2023.

But more important, unlike cars that can continue running, these new diesel engines just don't run if there is an emissions problem. The driver gets the dreaded "check engine" light and then has very little time to make repairs (sometimes as little as 2 hours drive time). After that the engine derates to 5 MPH and shuts down until repairs are made.

This new bill creates another expensive law with dubious benefits.

 

I guess Tesla will sell more of their Semi trucks in California soon.
