California liberals are forcing 70,000 big rigs to stop working in Calif.  That affects getting stuff to and from the ports.

Already been doing this for years.
Personally I don't think Hawaii over all will suffer that much
more than we presently do.
With our state regulations and laws already in place this
state is so fuked up already
it will be hard to make it worse.

The major impact of this trucking thing will be on Californians.
As demonstrated by Hawaiians you can shoot yourself in the
foot an awful lot and still survive.

What the kommifornia libtards don't care about is that a lot of independent contractor truckers cannot afford to buy and maintain the newest and more efficient rigs.

Many of these hardworking individuals looking to go into business for themselves would buy these older rigs as a start up expense.

So much for striving for the American Dream of being in charge of your own destiny.

Unless these commie pukes are willing to subsidize these contractors into retro fitting their rigs to comply with their bullshit emmissions standards.

Otherwise these asshats are full of shiite.

What about independent contractors hauling goods into kommiefornia from other states?

How about nobody haul goods into the state.  Tell those f**kers come get it.

The proposed Advance Clean Fleets regulation first targets the busiest trucking areas in the state — around warehouses, sea ports and railways — that the board says disproportionately affect Black and Brown, low-income and vulnerable communities.  :wtf:
Isn't that racist ?

I did a comparison on EV vs diesel semis a few weeks back.
Based on vehicle weight, GVW and mileage, IIRC the ICE did a 600 mile max GVW at 1/3 the cost and time of EV.
ICE weighs 15k to 25k empty, EV weighs around 50k
GVW for either is 80k
Takes EV 3x as long to make the run with "refueling"   :wacko:

It's the agenda that matters.  Even if jobs are lost and companies go bankrupt.

Even though there is no infrastructure to support this new directive.

Even though the consequences of doing it this new way will drive up costs in both supplies and expense of doing business.

They don't care.  They sit in their air conditioned office and think up these environmentally friendly laws while the citizens of kommiefornia pay through their a$$.

Then they get into their gas guzzling SUV's or limousines with armed guards and go home.

It will be interesting to see if there are actually reduced cancer rates since that seems to be given as a major reason for the law.

If it saves a lot of lives will it end up being justified?
