Maybe they're not going THAT far, but California forcing 0% emissions on everyone will only ruin their economy and force people to leave to better states.


No it wont. Humans arent all that matter. There are other creatures besides us and we shouldnt treat them and their homes like this big annoyance.

Yes we should, because I see animals as degenerates.

President Donald Trump has imposed a 30 percent tax on imported solar panels, a move that’s expected to pull the plug on tens of thousands of American jobs, while slowing the rush to renewable energy and rewarding fossil-fuel producers.


Power companies losing profits on solar is kind of a given, I suppose.


I can see how that could be problematic in regards to solar access, but that isn't a "Red state" and they're not taxing solar systems. It's in import tariff on foreign manufactured panels.

Supremacy clause.

Besides there was no federal law passed to allow it, only an understanding with epa. Epa as a federal agency simply revokes that understanding.

I don''t think the supremacy clause stands here, especially since the standards are more stringent. I believe that there are similar things for things like drug treatment programs, where the federal government sets the minimum but states can go over that.

Not sure about that either. Plus the car companies will move on without the administration. Electric cars and other non gas cars are the future whether people like it or not.

I agree with you, and it's better to have a few CO2 emissions than have a mass-extinction because there's nobody left to stop invasive species from doing evil deeds.

What if I only want to drive vintage cars?!

If gas cars are banned, a black market will likely show up selling vintage cars. Not necessarily making them, but selling them.

If legal companies don't sell retro cars, then crime operations WILL.

Let me ask you something: would you rather give your money to a company that cares about quality cars or a crime organization that funds terrorism?!

I sense that this is directly connected to the situation going on with BMW, Ford, Honda and Volkswagen wanting to go with California’s emission standards over Trump’s unnecessarily lax standards which just shines an even bigger light on Trump’s pettiness.
