Good day all. In their never ending quest to surpass both Venezuela and North Korea in economics and liberty, The state of California is now looking at banning the internal combustion engine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

California is one of the largest states geographically in the United States. About the only way to get around most of the state is by automobile. California also has a large ruling class made up of rich liberals who have no idea how the rest of the people live. They all worship in the Church of Global Warming\/Climate Change, (Algore be Praised! Algore Akbar!), and think that all the peons and serfs should live green lives. To help the \u201cGreat Unwashed\u201d achieve the elite\u2019s dreams, they want to ban cars using Internal combustion engines. Here are the details from Bloomberg<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

The internal combustion engine\u2019s days may be numbered in California, where officials are mulling whether a ban on sales of polluting autos is needed to achieve long-term targets for cleaner air. <\/b>Governor Jerry Brown has expressed an interest in barring the sale of vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines, Mary Nichols, chairman of the California Air Resources Board<\/a>, said in an interview Friday at Bloomberg headquarters in New York. The earliest such a ban is at least a decade away, she said. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brown, one of the most outspoken elected official in the U.S. about the need for policies to combat climate change, would be replicating similar moves by China<\/a>, France<\/a> and the U.K.<\/a> <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gotten messages from the governor asking, \u2018Why haven\u2019t we done something already?\u2019\u201d Nichols said, referring to China\u2019s planned phase-out of fossil-fuel vehicle sales. \u201cThe governor has certainly indicated an interest in why China can do this and not California.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If Jerry Brown has to ask why the People\u2019s Republic of China can simply issue an order and have something done, then he needs to resign immediately. However, for those of you who are just as stupid as Governor Moonbeam, I\u2019ll tell you. China is a dictatorship and California is part of the greatest Republic in history. The government, at all levels, is responsible to the citizens, not the other way around, no matter how much the Democratic Proglodytes want it to be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the United Kingdom and France, they aren\u2019t noted for being very responsive to their subjects. They also have a well developed public transportation system, something missing from Kalifornistan. Governor Moonbat\u2019s idea of public transportation is to build a railway that comes from nowhere and goes nowhere, and is already overbudget before the first foot of track was laid.<\/p>\n

Embracing such a policy would send shockwaves through the global car industry due to the heft of California\u2019s auto market. More than 2 million new passenger vehicles were registered in the state last year, topping France, Italy or Spain. If a ban were implemented, automakers from General Motors Co.<\/a> to Toyota Motor Corp. would be under new pressure to make electric vehicles the standard for personal transportation in the most populous U.S. state, casting fresh doubts on the future of gasoline- and diesel-powered autos elsewhere. <\/b><\/p>\n

And this is where reality hits Kalifornistan right in the back of the head. The rest of the Country has pretty much had it with California and it\u2019s desire to impose their twisted views on the rest of the country. If they were to try and ban the IC engine, and once again force their views on the rest of the country, they would be crushed. Right off the bat, the federal government would probably hit them with the Commerce Clause. I\u2019m sure there are other things as well.<\/p>\n

Then there is the engineering required. What Brown and the rest of the Ruling Moonbat Class want is electric cars for everyone. Never mind that the range of those cars isn\u2019t much above 100 miles under optimum conditions, and that it takes hours to recharge them. Then we have the problem of actually recharging the cars. You aren\u2019t going to get enough power from solar panels or wind farms. (I won\u2019t bother going into the issues of those sources of energy)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That leaves Nuclear energy. Well guess what? California is utterly opposed to that form of clean energy. How about hydroelectric? Clean, renewable, has the added benefit of building reservoirs of water in case of droughts. What could be wrong with that? Well, there is this issue of California looking to dismantle the dams they now have because of fish or something. Well, what does that leave?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

California has set a goal to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050. Rising emissions from on-road transportation has undercut the state\u2019s efforts to reduce pollution, according to Next 10, San Francisco-based non-profit<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cTo reach the ambitious levels of reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, we have to pretty much replace all combustion with some form of renewable energy by 2040 or 2050,” Nichols said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at that as a method of moving this discussion forward.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

I would say Kalifornistan is well on it\u2019s way to meeting that goal now. How you may ask? They are rapidly driving the productive people from the state, and they are taking their businesses and tax money with them. Texas has no problem with them coming there and they like the Internal Combustion Engine.<\/p>\n

California has the authority to write its own pollution rules, which dates back to the 1970 Clean Air Act. Those rules are underpinned by waivers granted by the Environmental Protection Agency. <\/b><\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s time to review that law and those waivers.<\/p>\n

Nichols said the state would likely take a different legal route to enable a possible ban rather than use an EPA waiver, since the Trump administration would be unlikely to approve one. For example, California could use vehicle registration rules or control the vehicles that can access state highways, she said. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe certainly wouldn\u2019t expect to get a waiver for that from EPA,\u201d Nichols said. \u201cI think we would be looking at using some of our other authorities to get to that result.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A ban for California could also still be decades away from implementation, and just how far out remains to be seen, Nichols said. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people who believe, including who work for me, that you could stop all sales of new internal-combustion cars by 2030. Some people say 2035, some people say 2040,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s awfully hard to predict any of that with precision, but it doesn\u2019t appear to be out of the question.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

Oh, it\u2019s out of the question. Now I have no problem with the internal combustion engine being phased out, but it should be done because it\u2019s obsolete and no one wants them anymore. The current crop of electric cars require huge batteries that have issues with catching fire or, in the case of an accident, electrocuting the passengers and the first responders.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are other power systems being developed that have great potential. One is hydrogen. When burned, hydrogen produces water. It\u2019s plentiful, and currently the only problems with it are storage and manufacture. You get hydrogen by splitting the H2O molecule, (Better known as water), and that has a few issues right now. Still, they are working on it and in 20+ years, who knows?<\/p>\n

Another system is called \u201cthe Fuel Cell: and it\u2019s been used for decades, primarily in space craft. There are issues with that as well, but again, they are being worked on and one day, it might become the preferred way to power a car. The one thing that has proven to fail miserably, are government mandates.<\/p>\n

We have seen how often the government\u2019s mandates for anything generally make things a lot worse. The most recent is Obamacare. We also have mandated fuel mileage ratings that forced car manufacturers to build cars that no one wanted and were, originally, not very safe in an accident. We also saw what happened when airbags were mandated.<\/p>\n

In that case, the car makers knew that what the government wanted would get people killed. They stated that for the record and were not only ignored, but threatened by various agencies. They weren\u2019t allowed to take the time to develop airbags that wouldn\u2019t decapitate people<\/a> when they went off.<\/p>\n

If Kalifornistan wants to try this, let them. I\u2019m also in favor of letting those parts of Kalifornistan that want to secede go. The rest of the state can remain. (Which is pretty much everything away from the coast and I believe northern California) Then the nation of Moonbattia can try all their little mandates, and we can extend the Trump Wall around them to keep them out when it all falls apart.<\/p>\n

Thatisall<\/p>\n
