California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced a sweeping package of what he called the country’s “most aggressive” climate measures to “accelerate the state’s transition” to non-conventional energy sources.
The package includes 40 bills that appear to provide new green rules on laws related to things ranging from large-scale industry to the family home and private and public transportation.(snip)Newsom’s office said his sweeping package of measures will create four million new jobs over the next 20 years, cut air pollution by 60 percent, and reduce state oil consumption by 91 percent.
How this would be achieved was not explained in the governor’s news release.
When most of the people leave the state, easy peasy…

It bears repeating: never let a democrat be in charge of anything.

He's a control freak. I wonder if there's a provision to affix his picture on your wall in a prominent location (like in North Korea).

Is this one of those "we have to Pass it to find out what is in it" kind of things? I don't feel sorry for the people, they voted him and his Administration into Office. If they don't like what he's about to force on their Life, they had better Speak now, or forever live with the King's Rules! I DO believe the Exodus will continue as there have to be a few Republicans left in that State who want out now!

Just some perspective, CA has 18 million jobs right now so these bills, which increase costs across the board for every business in CA, are going to increase the Job pool in CA by about 22%, which would require a labor force participation rate increase from the current 62% to well over 80%. In a state that is losing about 50,000 to 100,000 workers a year? In a state that is currently struggling with the highest population loss, one of the worst labor shortages, tthe highest cost of living and the most ridiculous housing market in the nation.
CA is doubling down on stupid. The only reason CA has been succesful with their ridiculous leftwing buffoonery for so long has been their undue influence on the national market due to their high population. National manufacturers have bent over bacwards to keep their CA market share, often foisting the same products off on all the other unsuspecting states. But now CA is actually shutting down markets, banning small emgines, banning campfires and barbecue grills, outlawing ICE Cars, rationing water, energy and market share etc. The manufacturers are going to see some pretty drastic impacts on their bottom line by trying to appease 60 million CA customers (Actually maybe a million customers most of which have outsized power due to celebrity or elected, one party rule) at the expense of 270 million other customers who really REALLY do not want that garbage.
CA wants socialism and one party totalitarian rule not realizing that it is cold hard capitalism, not their oh so progressive woke ideas, that has given them the national influence they have. When the financial advantage of doing business in, or for, CA is overwhelmed by the losses in the rest of their market, businesses are not going to commit corporate suicide for the causes of wokester elites and climate zealots.

Legislation will create 4 million new jobs?
But they won't be real jobs created by a natural demand in the market. They'll be "jobs by decree".
And thus more likely to be a burden or drain on the economy, rather than a contributor.

I predict the 4 million new fake jobs will cost 4 times that number of real jobs. The other results like reduced pollution will be because of the lost jobs and population.

Gavin Tiresome's running for president.
Those absurd laws the Kaliforni Dems rammed through are for Kaliforni, but he's appealing to every environmental patient and big government-loving dipwad in America.
Vote for me for president and we'll achieve climate Nirvana in America.
Also I love the French Laundry and my hair - I love my hair.

Thankfully we completed our transition to total solar two weeks ago. Just reading the titles of the bills sent a shiver down my spine. I can only imagine the details. I'm sure the registrations on our 1996 Jeep Cherokee and Dodge Ram 2500 truck will be increasing even more than they have been in recent years. Will they be banned from the roads in the not too distant future? We've seen this coming and in recent years. We bought a 2017 Grand Cherokee. We upgraded the stove and refrigerator. We kept our 1999 large capacity GE washer and gas dryer; still going strong without a service call. Good old 20th century American made products.
I know the Ldot mantra...why do we stay? California is as much my birthright as America; to leave her would be like leaving the USA. Leaving the city of my birth, Los Angeles, was tough but at least I traded city life for rural paradise. We are secure and can be self-sufficient if need be. We will make our last stand for freedom here.
God bless us all. Make California Great Again. Make America Great Again.

Conventional energy sources became conventional for a reason - they work. The non-conventional stuff was fine for moving ships at about five knots - when it was blowing at all and in the direction in which you needed to go. Look for Newsom to retire right about the time the hammer is about to fall on California.

I’m just about ready to move out of Ca. Born and raised here. It’s gone from the salad bowl for the world to a dust bowl of dead orchards and dead farm lands and the Mecca for homeless and crime. Highest gas taxes in the country and the abortion capital of hell.

I was In Tucson a couple of years. Got an Uber ride after we turned in our rental. The driver was a nice, chatty black guy. Said he had to move his family from San Diego because they couldn’t make ends meet even with both spouses working. As many have predicted, CA will soon consist of only two classes....the working poor and the wealthy.
