CBS News reports that California’s assembly has voted 43 to 32 to approve a bill that would transition the state completely off fossil fuels by 2045 — because there’s nothing that California can’t fix with more laws.
California lawmakers are in the middle of a historic vote to move the state completely off fossil fuels, with 72 percent of the state's residents backing the proposal https://t.co/QvER0ScoYb pic.twitter.com/Lo2OuKRe3Y

This will certainly come to fruition. Hey, by the way, how’s that bullet train coming along? Last we read, the project has cost state taxpayers an average of $3.1 million a day over the last year and it’s barely underway.
The vote comes on the heels of a sobering report detailing the effects of climate change on the state. California stands to lose up to two-thirds of its beaches to erosion, and a similar portion of its water supply, depending on how quickly the world reduces greenhouse gas emissions, the report found. Average summer temperatures are set to rise between 5 and 8 degrees Fahrenheit, and the average area burned during yearly wildfires would increase 75 percent.
Why don't they outlaw cancer too? https://t.co/s2jBJR2pip

California will look like North Korea at night.

Great, so in addition to a $2,000 rental payment for your studio apartment you’ll also have a $1,000 electricity bill to deal with.

They're already screwing use. Because of our "high usage" the tiered system kicks us into tier 3, which has us paying double for what we use. I just paid my bill yesterday, which was $771.15.
Meanwhile, these jerks are pushing for electric cars.

Can CA get any more pretentious and CBS, will you ask the tough questions? 50% of Energy CA uses comes from AZ and NV and that too from Coal powered plants. Nothing CA lawmakers do is grounded in honesty and reality.

Well, Arizona and Nevada can grant them their wish and cut off the 50% of California's energy. Then California can do the rest themselves. Let us see how energy extensive Silicon Valley and Hollywood can survive without electricity.

72% of us are NOT backing the Proposal. That is patently false.

Tim, since when do 72% of the Californian electorate matter to the elites in Sacramento. All they have to do is bring the whole matter to the courts and there you have it, the proposal will pass despite the opposition of the majority.

Sadly, you are correct, Sir. This must change or California will effectively be a third-world state in less than another decade.

Try within 3 years. Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and the Aerospace programs in California are power hungry sectors that need continuous electricity. NASA's JPL, Lockheed will move out of the State. Then Apple and the rest of the Tech industry, then what?

Hmmm but they allow pooping in the streets . Great for the environment and public health.???
