Seeing as we recently went through a supply chain crisis while Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was on paternity leave for a couple of months, you’d think there’d be a new appreciation for the trucking industry, which powered through the COVID pandemic. Instead, let’s ban diesel-powered trucks and force truckers into electric vehicles to save the glaciers.
Gov. Gavin Newsom seems ready to primary Joe Biden in 2024, by which time his law banning the sale of new gas-powered lawnmowers will have gone into effect. First, they came for the lawnmowers, and I said nothing.
Heavy-duty trucks account for nearly a third of harmful air pollutants.
We need bold action.
CA will once again lead the way –phasing out the use of diesel-powered trucks.
Trucks shouldn’t give our kids asthma.
Make wildfires worse.
Or melt glaciers. https://t.co/xzTPpH1Cuw

Is this moron even aware that California is still in the midst of the coldest, wettest, snowiest winter in our modern history, and that we haven’t had a major wildfire in 16 months (and won’t have another for at least several more months)??! It’s like he lives in a fantasy world!

So you'll switch from diesel powered trucks to an army of diesel powered generators to charge the new electric trucks.

The same state that somewhat regularly has energy crisis and rolling brown-outs.

And your plan to generate all this electricity is where, so that I may review it?

I’m just curious what you intend to replace them with?

By all means, don't just ruin OUR economy, ruin everyone else's too. All for junk science.

The amount of disdain this state has for the working class…

Let's create more policies that make inflation even worse! GREAT IDEA

Is it too much for staffers to post factually correct information? Now this needs like 3 community notes to add proper context.

What’s the actual plan? What’s the timeline? What engine will efficiently and cheaply replace the diesel engine! The fluff machine is in high gear!

You are so far removed from reality. What are you going to do for the people that have driven a truck for 30 years and work hard to support their family? Will you provide them all with electric trucks? You only care about those that do not want to work. @Susan_Shelley

What has been done to truckers in this state, for years, is criminal.

All the problems this state has, and THIS is what you’re focusing on? Dude, your job is to represent your constituents. You need to stop using your position for grabbing more money and power at the expense of California citizens. You are so out of touch, you’ve become a joke.

He’s already banned state travel to like 25 other states because of their anti-LGBTQ laws or voter suppression laws. Just seal the state in a bubble and see where that gets him.
