  2. The left has lost control of California. The state will become more blue as conservative residents move out. In time the remaining residents won't be able to support the California system. Same is true in the Northeast.

    A lot of makeup is made from petroleum, and they use a lot of makeup in Cali. No worries, there will always be demand.

  5. Not really. California already taxes the shit out of gas. Most of California already drives lower consumption vehicles. This was expected. I'm pretty sure they won't ban airplanes that run on gas in 2035 unless they figure out how to fly airplanes on electricity. They are just trying to make their people vote blue. I love many parts of California. I mourn the loss of many parts of California. It is not the same. It is getting worse.

    Pretty sure that if there is an airplane manufacturer in Cali (I don't think there is), they will be moving their manu facilities out of Cali before that law comes to pass. :)

    California became the first state in the nation to make solar mandatory for new houses. Beginning in 2020, newly constructed homes must have solar panels, which could be costly for homeowners. The state estimates that the cost will be offset by savings on utility bills.Feb 17, 2019

    Republicans have already left the state in troves. Even right wing Orange county is now blue! Still too many Trump loving hillbilly anarchists living in the deserts and forests though.

    No skin in the game but hate when government mandates stuff like that. As an electrician I’ve never dabbled with solar myself, but the maintenance of this stuff sounds horrible. Lots of electronic components = pain in the ass.

    Pretty sure I read an article or mention somewhere of California requiring landlords to have to install electric vehicle charge stations if a tenant gets an electric vehicle. This sounds horrible. Depending on age of building, size of service entrance, and distance of entrance to parking, this can be a substantial cost to install.
