PORTLAND, Ore. — Policymakers for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality on Monday approved a rule that prohibits the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger vehicles in Oregon by 2035. The effort comes as Oregon plans to cut climate-warming emissions by 50% by 2035 and by 90% by 2050, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. The transportation sector accounts for nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in Oregon. (Snip) The new rule also requires manufacturers to increase access to affordable zero-emission vehicles to low-income households and communities of color. It offers incentives to manufacturers to sell electric cars to community car share programs, to

Sadly, it appears that we must go ahead and fight Civil War 2 before these lie-beral idiots destroy their own states and take the rest of the country down with them!!!!! Or, preferably, just go ahead and peacefully break up the union into the lie-beral states and conservative states. The west coast is beautiful, but it is infested with the disease of lie-beralism. That is about 100,000,000,000 times more destructive than Covid ever could have been at it's very worst...

Where are they going to get: A) batteries, B) electricity to charge them, and C) firefighters to put them out? "the upfront costs are offset by decreased operations and maintenance costs." Until you have to replace the batteries, which can cost more than the car. The people are idiots!

I am looking for investors in a start up company I am forming to begin the manufacturer and sales of horse buggies for the States of Communist Death Democrat ruled California and Oregon. Our company would start selling these buggies out of abandoned car dealerships starting in 2035. Please let me know if you are interested in investing in this exciting opportunity to return these states to a peaceful and very short life span in a Communist Feudal Medieval civilization. Of course someone else will have to supply the horses.

By 2035 solely (not solar) battery powered cars will likely be a near forgotten dream, or nightmare. Although possibly there will be low powered battery cars charged by solar power electricity. That sounds logical and doable.

When the 2020 presidential campaign was lurching into gear three years ago, former Vice President Joe Biden had led in the polls for months. Still, everyone kind of assumed he was a placeholder, a former office-holder with high name recognition whose campaign would nevertheless go the way of his two previous presidential bids, meaning nowhere. He was dull as dishwater compared to many of the others vying for the nomination, and nobody had ever really considered him presidential timber. As the campaign took off, other candidates were winning in the early states even as Biden still led in national polls.

An abandoned outlet mall could soon be a new 29-acre “cannabis super center” in the middle of California’s Mojave Desert. The Barstow City Council voted 3-1 to approve the project at a contentious Dec. 21 meeting that lasted nearly five hours. The development needs to earn a second council vote next month before it is fully approved. The new development sits along one of California’s busiest traffic corridors, located about halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. A cannabis real estate firm was marketing the “cannabis super center” as “the most unique green zone property in the entire country” earlier

Mayor Eric Adams is warning that there could be upwards of 1,000 migrants bused into the city each and every week, if the policy is allowed to expire. It's not clear how he arrived at that number, but it is clear that there is concern the system could be overwhelmed. The U.S.-Mexico border has been packed with migrants desperate to get in.

Via PBS: A person’s choice to decline vaccinations does not outweigh public health and safety requirements in medical settings, a federal judge ruled in a Montana case. U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy last week permanently blocked a section of law the state said was meant to prevent employers — including many health care facilities — from discriminating against workers by requiring them to be vaccinated against communicable diseases, including COVID-19. “The public interest in protecting the general populace against vaccine-preventable diseases in health care settings

Starting Jan. 1, many Americans will qualify for a tax credit of up to $7,500 for buying an electric vehicle. The credit, part of changes enacted in the Inflation Reduction Act, is designed to spur EV sales and reduce greenhouse emissions. But a complex web of requirements, including where vehicles and batteries must be manufactured to qualify, is casting doubt on whether anyone can receive the full $7,500 credit next year. For at least the first two months of 2023, though, a delay in the Treasury Department’s rules for the new benefit will likely make the full credit temporarily available to consumers who meet certain income and price limits.

In it, the author argued that the medical establishment and our society as a whole stigmatizes obesity because Black women are the most obese demographic in America. People can be “healthy at any size,” and focusing on obesity as a health problem is racist.

Amid thousands of papers on COVID and the vaccines, a new German paper published in Science Immunology should be the headline story this week. Although the subject matter is very dense, the implication of it is that the Pfizer shots (and possibly other mRNA spike protein shots) caused the immune system to misfire, thereby creating an endless feedback loop of viral immune escape, perpetuating the pandemic in the macro,

In another Lucy and Charlie Brown football scenario, the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act that they claimed would help Americans and not raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year could reportedly cost taxpayers in excess of $20 billion in new taxes. President Biden made a production out of signing the act in August which allegedly introduced $473 billion in new spending wasted on climate and healthcare. But any illusion that it would reduce inflation is about to be blown away. Middle America will indeed pay new taxes regardless of what Biden and the Democrats claimed to sell them.
