What about trucks that transport goods across the state, including Amazon, UPS, and USPS trucks as well as traditional cargo trucks? Are those still going to be diesel powered and leaving a significant amount of brake dust in their wake?
What about the ships that burn the dirtiest fuel imaginable right up until they near California ports? Are they still going to be greeted with open arms?
What about all of the methane leaks from natural gas operations in the state? Will those actors face consequences?
What about the oil drilling that happens all along California's coast? Will they still be able to extract fossil fuels without paying royalties to the state?
Passenger vehicles are such a small portion of CO2 emissions, and implementing these restrictions pisses off a lot of people who do not want to change. High hanging fruit that is barely ripe.
- jefurii 6y agoThe announcement says heavy duty vehicles must be zero-emission by 2045. Saying there's lots of other work to do is not a good rationale for not doing this.
- CameronNemo 6y agoCan't companies just purchase and register a heavy duty truck in Nevada but operate it in California?
- athms 6y agoIf the vehicle is garaged or primarily used in California, it must be registered here. The state already has a problem with people keeping their vehicles registered in other states when they move here. For interstate trucking, companies will probably register in Nevada or Arizona, but intrastate transport companies are going to face large fines if caught.
