I THOUGHT THIS WAS SETTLED ... I THOUGHT WRONG

By Bob Walsh

 


Back in June the Trump administration withdrew the ability of CA to essentially write their own Clean Air regulations.  This isn't the done deal I thought it was.

CA. is still attempting to enforce it's Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulation.  This will, if it happens, pretty much destroy the ability of the trucking industry to sell new vehicles and eventually to even operate in CA.

The Trump administration is now suing the formerly great state of CA over their now apparently illegal attempts.  I wonder how Newsom thinks this is going to help him become president?  Most people are smart enough to realize that there is a utility in being able to move goods freely around the county.  If large trucks are limited to driving only about 200 miles a day, which would be the effective outcome of this regulation, it would massively increase the cost of moving goods and greatly slow that movement.  Both of those are bad things to anybody who has the ability to do some critical thinking.
