And if you thought it was due to "climate change", you would be wrong. (Though that probably factors into it too)
Nope, it's a "moral obligation" to undo "decades of racist and classist practices". A Moral Obligation

That state is intentionally being run into the ground. I'm torn about it b/c while I get to laugh at prog lib voting filth, I also know why it's being done and it's not good for America on any level.

These fricking idiots are too stupid for their own good.

The proposal would require medium and heavy-duty trucks entering ports and railyards to be fully electric by 2035, according to the report. CARB believes that such freight vehicles should be banned because the diesel emissions that come from such vehicles disproportionately affect low-income and minority communities due to racist zoning policies. “Decades of racist and classist practices, including red-lining and siting decisions, have concentrated heavy-duty vehicle and freight activities in these communities, with concomitant disproportionate pollution burdens,” the regulators stated. “CARB has legal and moral obligations to lessen these burdens.”
Why wait until 2040. All the woke honkeys can surrender their ill gotten homes and positions of power to a POC right fricking now.

At what point can the commerce clause be used to shut down these ridiculous laws?. This is going to make moving material from the ports much more difficult.

One of the driving factors in this are the numbers of people with asthma here in the Valley. It's "racist and classist" because it primarily impacts poor hispanics that live along the Hwy 99 & I5 corridors. Sometimes the more you know just makes it even more silly.

Dude it literally says it in the first sentence of the article
quote:
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is considering new regulations to ban the sale of all diesel semi-trucks by 2040 to fight climate change and rectify a legacy of racist practices, according to a CARB report released on Aug. 30.

… California deserves its fate

quote:
“Black and Latino populations experiencing significantly greater air pollution impacts than white populations,” CARB added. “Communities in and around ports move much of the nation’s freight, and so experience pollution on a national scale in their neighborhoods.”
What law forces people to live next to a port?

“Decades of racist and classist practices, including red-lining and siting decisions, have concentrated heavy-duty vehicle and freight activities in these communities, with concomitant disproportionate pollution burdens,”
Ah, the law of economics, which is also racist.

And when those ports shut down and OR/WA get new ports, what will become of those surrounding communties who by the way only got built up because of the ports jobs. Clown world

CA already limits trucking with extremely rigid environmental restrictions on older trucks. This is not good for the rest of the country, as well. Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland are three of the largest ports in the country.

It's both per the article you linked:
And both dumb, but, hey, we don't live in CA!

And the new all electric big rigs are going to charged with solar, wind and unicorn farts.

I’m old enough to remember when Democrats cried “don’t push your morals on me”. Now they make 80 evangelicals look tame and timid.

In 1900 Arthur Stilwell built the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway. It was to travel from Kansas City to Topolobampo Mexico. Stilwell envisioned that Topolobampo would be a major port city and was a shorter route to Kansas City than Los Angeles was. He ran out off money and the banks would not give him any financial support and his railroad stopped at the Mexican border in Texas. The railroad was later bought by the Santa Fe. Stilwell also had started the Kansas City Southern Railroad.
Perhaps it is time to re visit Stilwell's plan ?

I'm curious- is Kenworth more racist than Peterbuilt or is it the other way around? I'm not asking about White-Freightliner because, well, you know....

Remember when Biden’s handlers were talking about mobilizing the national guard due to the trucker shortage and comments they made about how unfortunate it is the supply chain is controlled by the private sector?

Overview of Cali Ports
If you think this is funny, it's not.
quote:
California has a total of 12 ports. Eleven of these are publicly owned, and one—the Port of Benicia—is privately owned. These ports process about 40 percent of all containerized imports and 30 percent of all exports in the United States.
If you think this is funny, it's not.
